I had the problem too and I don't like the one directory / one file approach.
I organised my template as follows:
<template>
|- css <- all css definition files
|- scripts <- all javascript files
|- images <- all image files
|- main.php
: :
`- style.ini
css files are included by style.ini,
jsvascript files are included the classic way in main.php and
images are included where they are used (css, php, js)
After all this method works fine for me and has some advantages:
1. The main directory is not so overcrowded (all files in one directory is bad)
2. the scripts are named according their task. What, the hell, does the script
script.js do? The name popup.js for instance is much more clear.
3. No more confusing automatic mechanisms needed.
What I am going to say? Ah, yes. Keep it as it is. ;-)

Matthias
