Ok, but how does that help me? All I want to do is set a variable to be used later on in the dialplan.
Eg, if someone dialls 2944000, which is in a different company...:

[co1_phone-start]
include => co1_did
include => sys_glue

[co1_did]
exten => 3254101,1,Dial(SIP/3254101,18,tr)
exten => 3254102,1,Dial(SIP/3254102,18,tr)
exten => 3254103,1,Dial(SIP/3254103,18,tr)

; No match, so now we want to use the external caller id variable for use later on, when
; we finally dial the dest number after performing all restriction and feature checks.
; Actually I just realised we want to SET the caller id.

[sys-glue]
include co1_did
include co2_did
