This is exactly how it is designed, and is a very useful feature.

You need to understand the matching order properly to appreciate to
power of this type of evaluation, but I believe the solution to your
particular question is Goto, and not include.

 [testflow]
exten => _X.,1,NoOp(testflow,1=${CALLERID(NUM)})
exten => _X.,2,NoOp(testflow,2=${CALLERID(NUM)})
exten => _X.,3,Goto(testflow1,${EXTEN},1)
...

Each context has its own "exten =>" lines checked first, and then each
"include =>" is checked in the order specified after that. Consider
using Macros too, they will often shorten a dialplan.

Cheers,
