#include is a verbatim text include. 

if extensions.conf has:


[main]
exten => aaa,1,Line1

#include "otherfile.conf"

exten => aaa,2,Line2

and othererfile.conf has:

exten => aaa,2,OtherLine1

[other]

exten => aaa,1,OtherLine2



You'll eventually get:



main: aaa: 
  1. Line1
  2. OtherLine1

other: aaa:
  1. OtherLine2
  2. Line2
