I can not say why it is not supported, but I can give you a workaround, how you can access another ManagedBean in a ManagedBean or other Java Code:

ELContext elContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getELContext();
MyOtherManagedBean myOtherManagedBean = (MyOtherManagedBean) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
    .getApplication().getELResolver().getValue(elContext, null, "myOtherManagedBean");

The Bean which we access could look like this:

@ManagedBean(name = "myOtherManagedBean")
@RequestScoped
public class MyOtherManagedBean {
...
}

Answers to: why doesn't support Ivy-JSF the annotation @ManagedProperty within a managedbean?
