Use \*include\_tasks\* instead of \*include\*.

Quoting:"Prior to Ansible 2.4, only include was available and it behaved  
differently depending on context". See "Including and Importing"  
[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user\_guide/playbooks\_reuse\_includes.html#including-and-importing](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_reuse_includes.html#including-and-importing)
