Absent an unambiguous definition, why would anyone put "gameplay" as the least important element of a game? "Gameplay" is the only thing that separates games from other (multi)media. "Gameplay" is paramount.

You could have no music, a nonexistent story and primitive graphics but still have a great and successful game by virtue of "gameplay" alone. In fact, I think that's how this whole games business got started!
gameplay is many things i guess. control, atmosphere, all those big and small things that make the game fun to play; that don't fit into graphics/music/Story.
