Re: $scripts_for_layout breaks in seperated header

My advice is to leave the head section in the layout. Elements/views
are rendered before the layout. Moving the head section to there would
mean, as you're finding out, that you may as well rewrite both the
HtmlHelper & JavascriptHelper yourself.

As far as inline js/css goes, I think you missed some parameters for
those methods:

HtmlHelper::css( $path, $rel = NULL, $htmlAttributes = array ( ),
$inline = true )
JavascriptHelper::link( $url, $inline = true )
JavascriptHelper::codeBlock( $script = NULL, $options = array ( ) )

The last one's a little confusing. Just add 'inline' => false to the
options array. I think the Cake devs chose the wrong default for
$inline for all of these but that's just me.

Echo the basic javascript tags required in your head (in the layout)
followed by the $scripts_for_layout var. Any other scripts you may
require can be echoed in the view/element with $inline set to false
and it'll be added to the $scripts_for_layout var (and, ultimately, to
the head eection).
