Note that effects.js appears before controls.js in the code above.

What is doubly strange is tat sound.js and unittest.js was never explicitly included in a javascript_include_tag statement.  I think the assets manager is taking all the .js file it finds and includes them implicitly. 

To repeat, the rendered html shows controls.js appears before effects.js.
