How to execute a playbook before a role?

This doesn’t work of course, but shows what I am trying to do. I wish to call a playbook before a couple of roles. How might I do this?

Doesn’t work, but is an explanatory example:

`

you cannot have a play inside a play, - import_playbook cannot be in a
task section, but easy enough to do what you want:

- import_playbook: /etc/ansible/playbooks/one-offs/update_gitlab_scripts.yml

- hosts: "{{ host}}"
  roles: ....

Thanks Brian!
