Hello,  
I’m actually making a role for managing bind configuration but i’m stuck with what _seems to be a regression_ in my role.

**briefly :**  
Using ansible 2.1.1.0.  
The role user should be able to give a yml file containing a dict of ressource records named “records” for each zone  
Each zone is declared in a list named “zones”

for keeping the code DRY and reusable, I divided the tasks in multiple files using include in main.yml and blocks

The problem appears during the zone data generation.  
this step is an include task.yml with\_items :

extract of main.yml :

`

# generate/copy zones data

- include: create\_zone\_db.yml  
with\_items: “{{ zones }}”  
tags: setup\_zones

`

extract of create\_zone\_db.yml

`
