If they are calling 5mile final an aircraft which is already in the circuit who has right of way should usually be able to complete their circuit and land.

It is simply a matter of communication so that you both know where each other is (though having flown around PCK/MAV etc I understand this can be difficult at times). I quite commonly cut circuits short or extended them depending on what positions we were in relation to each other, or if i were on the straight in approach, try to organize suitable separation with aircraft in the circuit without pushing my way in...
