Hi guys i saw the following example:

```

```auto
  - include: wordpress.yml
    vars:
        wp_user: timmy
        ssh_keys:
          - keys/one.txt
          - keys/two.txt

```

```auto

```

You could do something like this.

- include: wordpress.yml  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vars:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;var\_file: vars/var1.yml

And at the top in the wordpress file add a include\_vars

wordpress.yml
