Is there a way to override the <ui:define> that JSF templating offers?

For instance file main.xhtml, that includes a template file, contains:

<ui:define name="title">SomeTitle</ui:define>
<ui:define name="menu"><ui:include src="path_to_menu_1"/></ui:define>
<ui:define name="content">content_code_goes_here</ui:define>

If I want to create a main2.xhtml file that is identical to the main.xhtml, with the exception that it uses a different menu is there the possibility to do something like this:

<ui:include src="main.xhtml"/>
<ui:define name="menu"><ui:include src="path_to_menu_2"/></ui:define>

Where the <ui:define name="menu"> overrides the tag with the same name attribute in main.xhtml

    Just specify main.xhtml as template of main2.xhtml.

    main.xhtml

    <ui:composition template="sometemplate.xhtml" ...>
    <ui:define name="title">SomeTitle</ui:define>
    <ui:define name="menu"><ui:include src="path_to_menu_1"/></ui:define>
    <ui:define name="content">content_code_goes_here</ui:define>
</ui:composition>

    main2.xhtml

    <ui:composition template="main.xhtml" ...>
    <ui:define name="menu"><ui:include src="path_to_menu_2"/></ui:define>
</ui:composition>
