[Ansible] – How to include tasks and variables file definitions?

It is possible to create files with tasks and variables definitions to reuse in many playbooks. To use them in the playbook scripts is required to include them as the following example.

---
- name: Example of playbook with include tasks and variable files
  hosts: myexample
  tasks:
    - name: Include the variable file
      include_vars: vars/vars.yml

    - name: Include the tasks
      include: tasks/tasks.yml

    - name: Install the firewall
      yum:
        name: "{{ firewall }}"
        state: latest
...

---
# It is the vars/vars.yml file
firewall: firewalld
path: /var/www/html/

---    
# It is the tasks/tasks.yml file
# All tasks defined here will be executed when it is include
- name: Create index.html
  copy:
    content: "here is the content\n"
    dest:"{{ path }}index.html"

Following the tree of this example.

$ tree
├── ansible.cfg
├── inventory
├── myplaybook.yml
├── tasks
│   └── tasks.yml
└── vars
    └── vars.yml
