I’ve done research on behaviour of handlers together with include/import role.

[https://medium.com/@george.shuklin/include-role-import-role-and-handlers-in-ansible-b32a5386a555](https://medium.com/@george.shuklin/include-role-import-role-and-handlers-in-ansible-b32a5386a555)

Short excerpt:

`import_role`: All handlers are in the same scope, inner handlers always win.

`include_role`: Handlers in an inner role are invisible for an outer role. outer role’s handlers supersede inner role’s handlers for tasks in the inner role.

Any critique/refinements are welcomed.
