Bahhh!  Thank you.  That was very non-intuitive.  In fact, either using 
parentheses, or specifying multiple "-exec"s solves the problem.  Thank you.  
(Or in the case where I was using "echo {}" for testing purposes, then 
specifying multiple "-print"s would solve it)

find . \( -name '*.cs' -or -name '*.c' -or -name '*.h' \) -exec grep -l 
LockFile {} \;
or
find . -name '*.cs' -exec grep -l LockFile {} \; -or -name '*.c' -exec grep -l 
LockFile {} \; -or -name '*.h' -exec grep -l LockFile {} \;
