Hello,  
i try to do a var of var in a playbook on Ansible but i can’t figure out how to do this proprly, or if it is even possible ?  
here is what i try to do :  
`"name : {{ groups['{{ ANOTHER_VAR_HERE }}'][0] }}"`  
Ansible --version : ansible 2.1.0.0

PS : ANOTHER\_VAR\_HERE its a variable that i include from a vars file (its not a String its a real variable)

Thank you

mustaches don't stack, just use the var

name : {{ groups[ANOTHER\_VAR\_HERE][0] }}"
