It's probably been that way since the S/38.

Remember that total override replacement happens only for a second override 
of the same file at the SAME call level.

Ignoring activation groups, OVRSCOPE, and SECURE(*YES), if the two 
overrides are at DIFFERENT call levels, they merge together.  If a 
parameter is specified on both overrides, the value on the override at the 
outer level is the one which is used.
