Why is asterisk executing the wrong hangup?

[contextall]

include => context5xx
include => context8xx

[context5xx]

exten => _5xx,1,Verbose(3,Call in context5xx)
same => n,Hangup()

exten => h,1,Verbose(3,Executing hangup in 5xx)


[context8xx]

exten => _8xx,1,Verbose(3,Call in context5xx)
same => n,Hangup()

exten => h,1,Verbose(3,Executing hangup in 8xx)

When I call any extension in 5xx series, it executes 5xx hangup priorities and call is disconnected which is intended.

But when I call any extension in 8xx series it again executes 5xx hangup priorities and the call is disconnected, while I want to execute the hangup priority of the same context i.e. context8xx

Am I doing something wrong?

Yes, you not understand how include works.

All above is same as following:

[contextall]

exten => _5xx,1,Verbose(3,Call in context5xx)
same => n,Hangup()
exten => _8xx,1,Verbose(3,Call in context5xx)
same => n,Hangup()

exten => h,1,Verbose(3,Executing hangup in 5xx)

exten => h,1,Verbose(3,Executing hangup in 8xx)

So yes, it will execute first included h-extension. If you want it work as you describe you have start it with goto

[context8xx]

exten => _8xx,1,Goto(${EXTEN},2)
same => n,Verbose(3,Call in context5xx)
same => n,Hangup()

exten => h,1,Verbose(3,Executing hangup in 8xx)

But really correct way - rewrite dialplan to be asterisk-way. You just thinking wrong way.
