I would suggest that the "last one to write the header wins."... right
up until the point that the page gets returned to the browser, any part
of the complete page (including includes) should be able to modify any
header info, and simply the last one to write info "wins." It would of
course be up to the developer to design an intelligent page so that the
wanted results are obtained... but with the current API, we developers
have NO WAY to do this without resorting to "@" includes, which have
their own terrible problems...
