Why wouldn't you put #6 as #3, and have it generate a .call file to make a
new phone call?

forking out of the dial plan,


Some commands, like Background, will allow execution to continue. So, it
obviously can be done, when needed. But most things that need to happen
should happen in order. If it's complicated enough to be done out of order,
then AGI is probably more appropriate anyway.
