I don't know if this is intended behaviour or not.
Save the following as setuop.org
#+BEGIN_SRC
:SETUP:
#+LANGUAGE: en
#+DRAWERS: SETUP NOTES PROPERTIES
#+OPTIONS: author:nil date:nil d:nil title:nil ':t tex:t
#+STARTUP: content indent
:END:
#+END_SRC
Now include setup.org in test.org
#+BEGIN_SRC
#+SETUPFILE: ./setup.org
#+TITLE: A Three Second Route.
* A Three Second Route.
Some text.
#+END_SRC
Exporting as html result in:
#+BEGIN_SRC html
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<head>
<!-- 2017-07-31 Mon 18:22 -->
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
<title>A Three Second Route.</title>
<meta name="generator" content="Org mode" />
#+END_SRC
Note that TITLE is exported.
