Perhaps I'm not understanding the question, but: group_vars/all group_vars/groupname1 group_vars/groupname2
etc This can be used with multiple inventory files if group_vars is a directory in the directory with both of them, which should be what you need. Let us know if this doesn't make sense and perhaps I can elaborate further. Thanks!
