I think that's what you'd have to do.

Dunno... this'll work though:

context=from-internal-and-somethingelse

and in your extensions.conf

[from-internal-and-somethingelse]
include => from-internal
include => somethingelse

BTW, I think the best way to manage your * config files is to have a 
database of users,  and build your sip.conf, extensions.conf, etc from 
the database using a template language such as the template toolkit (Perl)
