In Asterisk, a "priority" is the "step number" in a dialplan. For example:

 	exten = *,5,	verbose(1,foo)

"5" is the priority.

It sounds like you want to have an "executive" class that can step on an 
"underling's" call. Maybe setting a global channel variable or tracking 
resource usage in a database would work.
