You've lost me here.
In my policy I would need to do the following: 1) allow access to
example:
corenet_tcp_sendrecv_lo_if(myapp_t)
corenet_tcp_connect_mysqld_port(myapp_t)
It means myapp_t can only tcp sendrecv on netif_lo_t.
And it can connect to mysqld tcp ports.
so:
It can only connect to mysqld tcp ports using the lo interface because
thats the only interface it can tcp sendrecv.
lo:mysqld, BUT restrict access to tun0:mysqld; and 2) allow bind on
tun0:voip_sandbox, BUT restrict access to lo:voip_sandbox if such
attempts are made.
In other words, both lo and tun0 as interfaces should be allowed (and
properly labelled) - I presume with network_interface(..) - as mentioned
in my previous post (every other access to another interface, if exist,
should be restricted), though different ports should be enabled for
different network interfaces.
The point I made above is that corenet_tcp_bind_$1_port and
corenet_tcp_connect_$1 do not allow me to specify on which interface I
need this to be allowed!
If I am able to decipher this macro I will certainly be able to create a
group of statements for the 2 different interfaces, but as it stands I
seem to be able to define voip_sandbox port binding on ANY interface as
well as connecting to mysqld port also on ANY interface, which is not
what I want.

Is there any way I could 'expand' these statements and see what this
really is made of?

Which is not what I need really as I would like to specify/govern access
for specific domain to connect/bind to tcp ports on specific interface!

What do you mean? I thought this is a part of the policy as statements
from this file are used by a lot of policy modules, or are you saying
this transforms to something else?
I mean the corenetwork module works a bit different than the common
modules. In that it uses a template to generate interfaces for declared
port types automatically. Thats where it uses the file you were looking
at for. Its not an normal interface file and it should not be used
manually. Theres a script in refpolicy that does it for you.
All you need to do is declare network object types and build the policy,
then the script will generate the interfaces for you, unlike it does
with most other modules.
