The placement of the \header block does not matter. It
can be after all scores, or before, or in the middle.
It just applies to the bookpart. You've given the bookpart
a title, so LilyPond prints it in front of all the rest.
This is similar to

\score {
  \header {
    piece = piece
  }
  { c' }
}

giving the same output as

\score {
  { c' }
  \header {
    piece = piece
  }
}

That sounds like an XY question. What is the use case?

There are lots of ways. You could integrate the specific
title into the general title. You could integrate the general
title into the specific title. You could also put the specific
title in \score-level \header fields.
