Note that you can't *redefine* params already defined on the same 
level.  I.e. writing (either direct or via include)

    fastcgi_param  SOMETHING  1;
    fastcgi_param  SOMETHING  2;

will send *two* name-value pairs to fastcgi application.  It's up to 
application to use either both or one of them.  

In practice, PHP is known to behave differently in different 
versions.  After 5.2 it uses last value supplied, before - first 
one.
