RenderSection not working inside Partial View in ASP.NET MVC3

In my ASP.NET MVC3 project I have a standard _Layout.cshtml generated by Visual Studio 2010 and after closing my <body> tag, I place a RenderSection:

_Layout.cshtml:

</body>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.5.1.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
@RenderSection("ScriptContent", required: false)
</html>

Then in my Index.cshtml View I have:

@model MyApp.ViewModels.MyViewModel
@{ Html.RenderPartial("MyPartial", Model);  }

If I place the @section ScriptContent in the Index.cshtml it displays correctly. If I place it in my Partial View MyPartial.cshtml:

@model MyApp.ViewModels.MyViewModel

@section ScriptContent {
     <script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/Filters.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>    
} 

In my page source I have:

</body>
     <script src="/Scripts/jquery-1.5.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>    
</html>

Meaning the @section is not executed. What might be the cause? Thanks

It is not possible to set an @section in the layout from a partial view. As a workaround you could instead call an action which renders the necessary <script> and HTML - although this is not very elegant.
