The situation is as follow.
Values for :includes are searched in several locations, in this order:
  1) #+BEGIN_SRC C++ :includes <one.h>
  2) org-babel-default-header-args:C++ '(:includes  "<two.h>")
  3) org-babel-default-header-args '(:includes  "<three.h>")
The search stops as soon as a value is found.
Thus we have a "replacement" logic rather than an "augmentation" one.

This works for :includes, but also for :defines, and every possible
parameter.  It also works for C, D, elisp, and any language.  It is a
generic feature of Babel.  To play with it, type C-c C-v I in the source
block.

The variables are declared in this way:
  (defvar org-babel-default-header-args:fortran)
Maybe they could be changed to:
  (defcustom org-babel-default-header-args:fortran)
to enable customization through Emacs customization facility...

Changing from a "replacement" behavior to an "augmentation" one involves
changing it for all languages at the same time, because it is
implemented in the core of Babel.  Moreover, it would require to know
which parameters hold single values, and which ones hold lists. 
Definitely more than a quick and small change.
