response.files is processed by a function called response.insert_files(),
which is called in web2py_ajax.html. So, you either need to {{include
'web2py_ajax.html'}} in the head of your layout.html, or you need to add
response.insert_files() at the end of that block of code above. If you
include 'web2py_ajax.html', keep in mind that it already inserts jQuery for
you (the version that comes with web2py), so you wouldn't want to repeat
that in your own response.files inserts.
(Actually, now that I think about it, response.insert_files() is something
new in trunk that will be released soon. The current version includes the
expanded code that has now been moved to response.insert_files(), so until
1.99 is released soon, you would either have to simply include
web2py_ajax.html, or copy the relevant code from it into your layout.html
head.)

Yes, you can do that -- just take note of the above.
