We don't know for certain. Based on what Edwaru wrote, only Irregulars enter the Tower from the outside. It's possible that the "original" inhabitants of the Tower -- the natives Zahard found and conquered while he was climbing -- were brought in by someone unknown at the dawn of the Tower's history, but that's purely speculation on my part.

It's also possible that the door leading to the Outside and the door they're talking about are different things; it could just be a reference to the fact that Irregulars forcibly gain the right to climb the tower without being selected by anyone. Maybe there's a second door (possibly metaphorical) between the inner and outer towers, who Headon brings poeple through. Some of this could also be translation difficulities, as the translators didn't originally have any way to know that Regulars are actually selected from the Outer Tower rather than from outside the tower entirely.

(It's fairly confusing because nearly everyone who speaks to Baam automatically assumes that he was from the Outer Tower as well, and only a few people in the Tower seem to even understand that a world outside the tower exists.)
