When tangling, exporting and evaluating.

Correct.

Lexical binding is not a good example, because there's already a header
argument to control this:

  #+begin_src emacs-lisp :lexical t
  ...
  #+end_src

and you can set header arguments document-wise, or globally.

Other file local variables you could set in an Org buffer do not usually
make sense in programming languages.
