Of course. It's because you call the element in the layout. By the
time the PHP interpreter arrives at that line, it's already passed the
line, up above, with echo $scripts_for_layout. This will work if you
instead include the element inside a view template.

Besides, if the element is inside a layout, you may as well include
the CSS in the layout itself.
