A context containing extensions can be incorporated into or associated with others. For example, consider the following context:

Context "default":
Extension Note
101 Mark Spencer
102 Will Meadows
0 Operator

Context "local":
Extension Note
_9NXXXXXX Local calls
include => "default"

Context "longdistance":
Extension Note
_91NXXNXXXXXX Long distance calls
include => "local"

We have defined three extensions:

* Operator. Default context allows us to dial 3 telephone extensions: Mark, Will and the operator
* Local context has only one extension that allows us to dial 7-digit number. In addition, if we incorporate the default context into the local one, we can also dial Mark, Will and the operator.
* The long distance context has an extension pattern allowing us to place a long distance call. This context also includes localcontext, and thus also allows us to call a local number or even the extension of Mark, Wil and the operator.

Using context in the extension, we can carefully regulate who can have access to a larger network. Be careful. If there is more than one pattern that match the dialed number, Asterisk may not use the numbers we want.
