These do completely different things, so the question cannot really be
answered.
The includes cause all the scripts to be executed and then output is
sent (usually to a browser). Any global variables that are present in
script1 will have the same values in scripts 2 and 3.
The redirection using headers is supposed to be with the full url
thus:
header("location: http://www.example.com/script2.php");
header("location: http://www.example2.com/script3.php");
Script 2 knows nothing about script 1 likewise script 3. Indeed as in
my example, they could be on different servers.
You are comparing apples and pears.
