Error using tiledlayout syntax instead of subplot when referencing axes handles

Hello, I am trying to use the newer tiledlayout feature rather than subplots as I want to adjust the padding round each subplot. However, I have functions that require an axes handle (ax1, ax2).
Normally I do this: (and it works fine):
ax1=subplot(4,8,[1,2,3,9,10,11],'Parent',f1);
myImshow1(app,IM,n, ax1); %my own imshow function
ax2=subplot(4,8,[4,5,6,7,8,13,14,15,16],'Parent',f1);
myImshow1(app,IM2,n, ax2);
I've tried using tilelayout syntax:
t=tiledlayout(f1,2,2,'TileSpacing','Compact');
ax1=gca;
myImshow1(app,IM,n, ax1)
nexttile(t); ax2=gca;
myImshow1(app,IM2,n, ax2);
But it complains

Be very careful about using gca, gcf, etc. in your code. I generally only use those when I'm experimenting in the Command Window.
Instead, call nexttile with an output argument. From its documentation page "ax = nexttile(___) returns the axes object." You can use the "Set Properties on the Axes" example on that documentation page as a model for your code, as it does something very similar to what you're trying to do.

tiledplot is only able to put one axes object per tile, sorry. Another user wanted two y-axes just yesterday...
