Description:	I'll try my best to explain. We are trying to create a context [Global1] that we reuse it a few other contexts.  The problem is, when included in the first context, the priorities are created properly. However, when we call the next context including [Global1], the priorities from [Global1] are dropped and over written by the context that included it. ****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ****** I've attached the asterisk.log(CLI output), extensions.conf(syntax for dial plans) and dial show.txt(output from asterisk CLI of priorities)
Comments:	By: Paul Belanger (pabelanger) 2008-11-25 22:23:44.000-0600 I've also uploaded expected-asterisk.log (hand created) of what we would expect asterisk to do. By: Miguel Molina (coolmig) 2008-11-27 16:31:34.000-0600 Well, a workaround could be using another extension on the Goto's (s,start to <another extension>,1). I think that using the same extension on a context and an included context is what is causing you problems. However, including the same dialplan into 2 contexts that look the same should produce the same priorities.

By: Miguel Molina (coolmig) 2008-11-28 08:11:04.000-0600 Well I think that in [Menu1] and [Menu2] contexts, to use 'n' extensions you should start them with the '1' priority, as in any dialplan. That would take you to this: [Menu1] include => Global1 exten => s,1(start),Answer exten => s,n(restart),Background(digits/6) exten => s,n,Background(digits/7) exten => s,n,Background(digits/8) exten => s,n,WaitExten(3) exten => 1,1,Goto(Menu2,go,1) [Menu2] include => Global1 exten => s,1(start),Background(digits/5) exten => s,n(restart),Background(digits/6) exten => s,n,Background(digits/7) exten => s,n,Background(digits/8) exten => s,n,WaitExten(3) If you put the extensions that way, the issue should be gone.

I'll continue to monitor this issue in case patch is submitted on this. By: Joshua C.
