I don't think calls to LOAD are local requests (even with ajax=False) -- the
call to LOAD simply passes the original request environment to the component
controller action.
What you need is a way to determine if a request has come in via a call to
LOAD. In that case, request.env should include
http_web2py_component_location (as well as http_web2py_component_element),
so you could test for that:
def some_block():
if request.env.http_web2py_component_location:
do_smth()
return dict(smth=smth)
else:
return None
