Summary:                    In dialplan (extensions.conf), subdirectories are
not respected
Description: 
In extensions.conf, I include a file which is in  the subdirectory
/etc/asterisk/contatio.d/

#include "contatio.d/users.conf"

That works !
Then, in users.conf, I include another file in the same directory
#include "users.part1.conf"

Asterisk looks for users.part1.conf in /etc/asterisk/ instead of the
relative directory /etc/asterisk/contatio.d/

Actually I disagree with your assumption. When you perform an include,
Asterisk does not have the concept that you included a file within another
file. When you include a file, all Asterisk is doing is including that
information as if it was a flat file. So doing the following:

extensions.conf:

[context]
exten => 1,1,NoOp()
#include external.inc

external.inc
exten => 2,1,NoOp()


Is exactly the equivalent of doing:

extensions.conf:

[context]
exten => 1,1,NoOp()
exten => 2,1,NoOp()



Just because something is in separate locations and subdirectories on your
filesystem, will not relate to Asterisk, because all it will do is load the
information from the file, and place it in the extensions.conf file as if
it had loaded it directly from the extensions.conf file, so you'll always
have to assume a relative path from /etc/asterisk/ or you could specify the
full path.
