renderRequest is not accessible in liferay portlet

Question

Why is the renderRequest Object accessible in my JSP file?

It is accessible in view.jsp file but in the other jsp files it is not accessible.

I get the error renderRequest cannot be resolved

By the way I'm using Eclipse Liferay IDE.

Make sure your jsp has the following taglib included

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/portlet_2_0" prefix="portlet" %>

<portlet:defineObjects />
