I have an inline switch that has 8 terminals and have just wired up my Strat so the middle tone control works in switch position 1 and 2, no tone for 3 and rear tone does 4,5. It is the suggested setup. Check this site. http://www.guitarnuts.com/wiring/menu.php
I used my multi-meter to find out which terminals were conected in each switch position and wrote them down.
On my 5 way switch starting from the jack end as number one. Terminals 4&5 are bridged on my switch.
Pos 1= 1,4,5,6 Neck
Pos 2= 1,2,4,5,6,7 Neck middle
Pos 3= 2,4,5,7 Middle
Pos 4= 2,3,4,5,7,8 Middle,Bridge
Pos 5= 3,4,5,8 Bridge
So 1 is neck pickup wire
2 is middle pickup wire
3 is Bridge pickup wire
4-5 is wire to left term. vol pot.
6 is wire to middle term. middle tone pot
7- No wire
8 is wire to left term. rear tone pot.
There are other options by bridging 7 and 8 so tone control is on every position.
