[Asterisk-Users] Global Variables Scope

[Mike Coakley]

I have tried using #include in the files that I want the 
globalvars.conf file in and according to the CLI startup I can see that 
the file is getting processed correctly. But as I said the behavior 
doesn't seem consistent where the variable substitution seems to work 
in some places but not others (outside of extensions.conf of course). 
So I am wondering if it is a bug or it shouldn't be working in other 
files and I'm just seeing the affect of the same config parsing 
routines. This question might be better asked on the dev list since it 
appears it could be a coder answer.
