Hello,
The order in which the value of a parameter is determined seems to be
(strongest first):
1. group parameters
2. topic parameters (from deepest to root topic)
3. gnus-parameters (in the order of the list)
...but is it? Experiments with gcc-self (the columns are the values
of gcc-self in group parameters, topic parameters and gnus-parameters
('-' means no value at all); the last column is the value seen in Gcc:
when writing an article in the group (nil means no Gcc header)):
group topic g-p Gcc
"group" "topic" "g-p" "group"
"group" nil "g-p" "group"
"group" - "g-p" "group"
"group" "topic" - "group"
"group" "topic" nil "group"
"group" nil nil "group"
- "topic" "g-p" "topic"
- "topic" nil "topic"
nil "topic" nil nil
nil "topic" - nil
- "topic" - "topic"
nil "topic" "g-p" "g-p" ???
- nil "g-p" "g-p" ???
nil nil "g-p" "g-p" ???
Last three values for Gcc look odd, I was expecting no Gcc header for
those combinations.
Also, I think that gnus-parameters should be stronger than topic
parameters. The manual says in <info://Gnus/Topic+Parameters> "Group
parameters (of course) override topic parameters [...]", and
gnus-parameters has group parameters, only in a different place than
the "real" group parameters.

Sorry, forget that, apparently I've lost my ability to read.
(dotimes (I 100)
(print "None is not the same as nil"))

What about this, then?

The precedence now is:
group parameters
topic parameters
gnus-parameters
I'm not sure whether that precedence list makes sense or not.
Comments?
