Hi Radek.  I'm unable to reproduce this behavior.  I just checked in a new 
test that does this using the HTML straight from your examples above.  See 
peak.web.tests.test_resources.IntegrationTests.testLayout.  Can you tell me 
more about how to reproduce this behavior?  The system already has code 
that should make layouts work the way you want them to, so I'm surprised 
that you're having a problem.

Could it be that you are not rendering the top-level page via handle_http, 
but instead are using a manually-created start context and renderFor()?
