An included file is not in any manner a separate piece of source code.
It's equivalent to just piecing several files together into a single
file.  The "global" \header block is consulted at the time a score is
converted to graphics, and scores that aren't contained in a book are
converted at the end of reading in all the source code.

So if you have different \header entries in different scores, you need
to put them inside of \score itself for them to get stored and processed
along with the score.
