Pattern-matching within a context is not done based on order at all.

To achieve the effect you want:

include => cell
include => default

[cell]
exten => _00[78][234].,1,Playback(posix-cellphone)
exten => _00[78][234].,2,Dial(${TRUNK}:${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD}})

[default]
exten => _0.,1,Playback(posix-defaultroute)
exten => _0.,2,Dial(${TRUNK}:${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD}})
