Now rich faces layput in VPE is an approximation limited to specific layout logical names together with css syles to layout panels. Previously it was done only with css styles but in this case the order of panel's adding was set aside. To manage it draft div elements are created for every panel in rich:layout template in advance, then according to certain panel presence it is put to appropriate div thus correct layout is saved. Draft divs are situated relatively each other using css styles. That's how it works for now. RichFaces themselves have the very close behavior, they do not use YUI css directly but compute their own logic based on YUI.
