This give you the answers

[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.5/porting\_guides/porting\_guide\_2.5.html#dynamic-includes-and-attribute-inheritance](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.5/porting_guides/porting_guide_2.5.html#dynamic-includes-and-attribute-inheritance)

In the link they use tags but this is also true for become since that's also an attribute.
