engine\_javascript and engine\_stylesheet are broken in that you can’t  
order the stylesheets and javascripts, .css and .js are  
_always_ first, which breaks cascading and javascripts that rely on  
other…

So you have to either do

engine\_stylesheet , ‘basic\_style’, ‘real\_\_style’

or similar…

engine\_stylesheet and engine\_javascriopt should at least look for  
 later in the sources and not automatically create the first one  
if it is found.

changing action\_view\_extensions.rb (line 129) to:

if defined?(RAILS\_ROOT) && File.exists?(File.join(RAILS\_ROOT, “public”,  
“#{default}.#{ext}”)) && sources.index(engine\_name) == nil

(added “&& sources.index(engine\_name) == nil” )

fixes this problem (assuming no case issues).
