I have a defintion of header/body/footer and then extensions of that defintion for particular body JSPs.
Each "body" jsp may need a reference to a different .js file. These references are supposed to go in the <head>, but that tag is located in the main layout definition. So, how can I include the J
avaScript files I want in the <body>, when the references to the .js files have to go in the <head> ?

Here's how you do it for a single js file:
You can achieve this by configuring the path of javascript file in the tiles definition and expose that name in the master layout. The child definitions can override the javscript file value and thus can render different javascript files within the <head> element itself.
Please take a look at the following code snippets:
tiles-defs.xml
<definition name="master.page" path="/layouts/masterlayout.jsp">
<put name="title" value="App Home Page" />
<put name="jsfile" value="/config/javscript.js" />
<put name="header" value="/pages/header.jsp" />
<put name="body" value="/pages/body.jsp" />
<put name="footer" value="/pages/footer.jsp" />
</definition>
<definition name="child.page" extends="master.page">
<put name="title" value="Child Page" />
<put name="jsfile" value="/config/childpage_javscript.js" />
</definition>
<head>
<script src="<%=request.getContextPath()%><tiles:getAsString name='jsfile' />"></script>
<title><tiles:getAsString name="title" /></title>
</head>
Here's how you'd do it for multiple js files:
tiles-defs.xml
<definition name="master.page" path="/layouts/masterlayout.jsp">
<put name="title" value="App Home Page" />
<put name="jsfile" value="/config/javscript.js" />
<put name="header" value="/pages/header.jsp" />
<put name="body" value="/pages/body.jsp" />
<put name="footer" value="/pages/footer.jsp" />
</definition>
<definition name="child.page" extends="master.page">
<put name="title" value="Child Page" />
<put name="jsfile" value="app.childpage.jsfiles.tile" />
</definition>
<definition name="app.childpage.jsfiles.tile" path="/layouts/jslayout.jsp">
<putList name="jsfilesList">
<add value="/config/childpage_jsfile1.js"/>
<add value="/config/childpage_jsfile2.js"/>
<add value="/config/childpage_jsfile3.js"/>
</putList>
</definition>
<tiles:useAttribute id="list" name="jsfilesList" classname="java.util.List" />
<c:forEach var="jsfileName" items="${list}">
<script src="<%=request.getContextPath()%><c :o ut value='${jsfileName}' />"></script>
</c:forEach>
