prototype .js files loaded twice

in my layout I am using only :  
\<%= javascript\_include\_tag :all, :cache =\> true %\>

Did you mean:

\<%= javascript\_include\_tag :defaults, :cache =\> true %\>

“all.css” is the file that all the other js files are cached to. I think  
you meant to include the defaults, no?

In the source of your page are they loaded twice?
