This is what i did some time ago:
File: app_controller.php (so every controller has it for free)
function beforeRender(){
//Load a controller specific CSS
if( file_exists(CSS.$this->name.'.css') ){
$this->set('controllercss_for_layout',$this-
>name);
}
//Load a controller specific Javascript
if( file_exists(JS.$this->name.'.js') ){
$this->set('controllerjs_for_layout',$this-
>name);
}
/*
.....
.....
*/
}
