Neither.  It's a misunderstanding on your part of how this all works.  The
equivalent of your entry above is the context:

[168]
context=mylocal
type=friend
nat=no
canreinvite=no
host=dynamic
qualify=yes
dtmf=info
language=fr
call-limit=5
subscribecontext=subs
disallow=all
allow=alaw
t38pt_udptl=no
setvar=accountcode=foo
defaultuser=168
secret=pass168
callerid=John Doe<168>
mailbox=168
setvar=longcid=015555555
setvar=accountcode=bar

The FIRST value is the value which takes precedence, not the last.
