    Thanks, as far as I can see lilyponds modification system is based on
    a stack based state machine, \override permanently changes that state

    as they appear to do the same thing?
    
As described in the Learning Manual, which has been suggested that you read, 
\once applies to everything happening at that musical moment; \tweak applies to 
only the object containing the \tweak.

You really *should* take the time to read carefully through the Learning 
Manual, rather than just trying to figure things out by looking at examples.  
It will save you time in both the short and the long run.

Also, the LilyPond mailing list rules frown on top-posting.  Please use inline 
quoting instead.

Thanks,
