ok, Im a bit confused.  I was refering to using includes within
contexts.
I've been doing things like this in extensions.conf :

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
[local]                         -allow local area calling
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
include => outgoing-pstn-local
include => outgoing-iax-peer
include => outgoing-operator
include => outgoing-911
include => outgoing-411
include => outgoing-611

and this

; check for holiday and play special message
; include => newyears|*|*|1|jan

My original question was if I could break my extension.conf file up into
seperate files and include the smaller pieces back into the main file
like this.

extensions.conf
include => /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf.outgoing.contexts
include => /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf.incoming.contexts
include => /path/to/some/file|<hours>|<weekdays>|<monthdays>|<months>
