Tiles:put with beanName and JSF object doesn't work

Question

I got some recent (good) advice for using tiles:put and in the inserted tile getting access to the string in a JSF tag, as long as it is a static string. For example, if I do this in the page including the tile:
<tiles:insert page="includedPage.jsp">
<tiles:put name="somevar" value="something" />
</tiles:insert>
Then in includedPage.jsp:
<tiles:importAttribute name="somevar" scope="request"/>
<h:outputText value="#{requestScope.somevar}"
That works fine. But now I'm trying to use this:
<tiles:insert page="includedPage.jsp">
<tiles:put name="somevar" beanName="varFromDataTable" />
</tiles:insert>
I can't get it in the includedPage.jsp - I think because the tiles tag can't find the JSF variable (created using the var= attribute of dataTable).
Does anyone know how I would do this? I need the whole object, not just a string from the object, since the includedPage.jsp will be using many attributes from the bean.
