if you are on cake <= 2.0.0-dev than you use like you say, if you are on
cake >= 2.0.0-alpha, then, do this

$this->element('elementname', array('variablenameforelement' => 'value',
'second' => 'value2, array('plugin' => 'plugin_name'));

so first parameter is element name
second are vars for element
third are element vars (cache, plugin, etc)
