In my layout, I have this string:

<block type="catalog/category_view" name="category.products" template="catalog/category/view.phtml">

But I do not have a file in this package in this way.

enter image description here

But at the same time the code is executed in: /gamma/template/broadway/catalog/product/view.phtml

Why? Also in the documentation all examples with local.xml are written, but I have 2 layouts with different names. We can call our layout as we want?

If a template is not present in your theme gamma then Magento will use a fallback system to look in the base theme. More details here.

It's the same for the layout : if you call your layout with the same name as in the base theme,then the one in the base theme will not be used anymore. If you use a different name, your layout will be merged to the others (depending on the order each module is loaded)
