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).
