That is interesting...
I've created an example here: http://de-test1.appjet.net/
But it doesn't execute for the browsers I tested.

It does not seem to me that a JS resource should be executed on its own, but meant to be executed in the context of another application, such as a HTML Document on a browser, XUL document in Firefox, as Actionscript in Flash etc. etc.

The HTTP Response Header just needs to go before the HTTP Response body, it does not matter where in the PHP script it is issued...
You can use output buffering if you need. http://www.php.net/ob_start

eg: for a redirect:

Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

// at the top of your page start the HTTP buffer
ob_start();

// heres your HTML
echo '<p>I am a paragraph</p>';

// then you decide to redirect, clear the buffer
ob_end_clean();
// issue the change in location. 
header('Location: http://example.com/');
