I have a playbook that includes lots of other playbooks, eg

`

# site.yml

- include: mesos-master.yml
- include: mesos-slave.yml  
`

Inside mesos-master.yml for example, I have play that looks like

`

- name: Configure logging  
hosts: mesos\_master  
become: yes  
tags: [logging]

roles:

- role: logstash  
tags: [logstash]  
`

When I run site.yml with --tags logging the tasks within the logstash role do NOT get executed.

But when I run mesos-master.yml with --tags logging the tasks with the logstash role DO get executed.

This is with 2.3.

I can’t find any issues for this, but with 2.3k open issues in git it’s pretty hard to find anything, so maybe I missed it.
