You can not mix different handlers: static and php, in one try_files.
My variant is similar to Merlin's:

     location / {
         try_files  $uri $uri/index.htm $uri.htm $uri.html @php;
     }

     location @php1 {
         try_files  $uri.php  @file1;
         fastcgi_pass  ...
     }

     location @file1 {
         try_files  /layout.htm /layout.html @php2;
     }

     location @php2 {
         try_files  /layout.php  =404;
         fastcgi_pass  ...
     }
