I use roles. In group\_vars for a role I have for 3 files that contain variables and values:

esb  
mq  
httpd

Sometimes esb needs info that is in httpd. I would like an “all” file to include one or more files, rather merging 3 files into “all”, something like this:

$cat all

- include: esb,mq,httpd

Is this possible, and how?

Thanks,  
Jepper

the files are pure yaml and get sucked in by the yaml parser, yaml has no  
way to include other files.
