Thanks Smelly. Actually, I did try both, and they gave me the same result. The way I avoided the mixing of index.php page is that I renamed index.php in cakephp to cakephp.php, and call that page in jake component. But still exactly the same symptom. I actually tried a few other ways, like put joomla files in a folder named joomla and put it under webroot rather than directly copying joomla files to webroot, etc. They all give the same error and symptom.
One thing I almost forgot and I guess is important: I suppose any cakephp link originally in my cake application should be rewrite to a joomla component link, right? So, in my original question, I said the link is supposed to be "http://localhost/cake/about_us";, that's not correct! It should actually be "http://localhost/joomla/index.php? option=com_jake......./about_us. It seems to me that this simply indicates jake's rewriting is wrong. Still in need of help. Please....
