General rule of thumb: All patches/service packs on AR system are cumulative.
So what is available in 7604 SP2; would be available in 7604 SP3 and 7604 SP4 and forth. Things are forward ported to forth coming releases/Service Pack/Patches etc. However; there could be classic case; where I am on 7604 SP2 and need a hotfix and it got delivered; and while 7604 SP3 is in restricted mode, nearing its release; then said hotfix will not be part of 7604 SP3. It will make it to the next delivery vehicle or will be part of 7604 SP3 cumulative hot fix. [Exceptions could be there; where a one off hotfix may not be productized] Yes, the Readme/Tech bulletins should help identify; if desired fixes are in or not. Most of customer reported issues are listed here in TB's.

When SP3 came out, BMC Support indicated that I shouldn't upgrade because the fixes in my hotfix were not included. I'd like to be able to apply some service packs if they include other benefits like this but how would I know for sure (without just testing to see what happens) if the fixes I was provided are included or even necessary in SP4 or later?

The pre-load timings of Midtier have been optimized in 7604 SP4 and onwards. To quantify the improvements, the pre-load timings have been reduced by 75% and CPU utilization during pre-load has been reduced by 50%. Also a visual "Preload indicator" is available as part of latest cumulative hot fix for 7604 SP4. Earlier one had to rely on Mid-tier logs to check things here. The said changes are part of Midtier 8.0 as well.
