Sortable.create - Sortable is Not Defined

The DragDrop capability offered by Scriptaculous is tremendous, but is not good on error messages. What does one do with the error "Sortable is Not Defined" on a "Sortable.create" statement?

The answer, from my experience, is to look hard at the coding of the page. When I have hit this problem it has normally (perhaps always) been because "echo" statements for debugging had resulted in a page source which showed the "body" tag appearing far sooner than I had intended, and that seemed to be what was spooking the Sortable.
