Touch tones are also known as DTMF, or dual-tone multi-frequency.
There are 4 "low" tones and 4 "high" tones. They combine, two at a
time, to create the 16 standard DTMF signals. There's no sequencing
involved in * and # - they're just two of the combinations.
The other 4 combinations, which you're not likely to have on your
phone, are A, B, C, and D. I have them on an amateur radio
Handi-Talkie, where they might be used to control radio repeaters.
They were originally intended for military use. See
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DTMF>.

You may be thinking of trunk signaling, which I know nothing about.
