asterisk users - Feb 2006 - Digit timeouts vs includes in diaplan

Hi,
 
I have a little situation with my dialplan, and I am wondering if what I
want is even possible.
 
Here it is: I have three contexts, context1 includes contexts2, and context2
includes context3.    In other words, in context1 all extensions of context2
and context3 are valid (and actually working, so that's good).  I am using
those context for the sake of code clarity and reuse, and for this reason
they are absolutely needed.
 
Most extensions work allright, EXCEPT in the cases where there are
"overlapping" extensions, for exemple 2, 23 and 235.  In a normal
dialplan,
I would expect when dialing "2" that there would be a timeout of 5
seconds
before that extension is dialed.  When dialing 23, another 5 second delay
and when dialing 235 it would dial immediately.  In other words, when I
pressed "2" that extension would not immediately be dialed but
asterisk
would wait for other digits.
 
In my case, the extensions are split as follows:
[context1]
include => context2
exten => 2, 1,noop(2)
 
[context2]
include => context3
exten => 23,1,noop(23")
 
[context3]
exten => 235,1,noop(235)
 
And the RESULT is that when I press "2" in context1, it doesnt even
give me
a chance to dial the other digits, it simply connects me to extension 2.
What if I wanted to put in 235???
 
Is this:
1) A bug?
2) WAD?
3) I missed something?

Don't know why you would have been experiencing pauses beforehand, but 
you can specify a digittimeout with:

Set(TIMEOUT(digit)=<#>)
