Hi there,
I'm using ansible 1.9.2. We don't use ansible for configuration management,
but instead for deployment automation.
I'm trying to set some conditions early on in a play so that the right
tasks get executed under the right conditions later in the play. This play
is called multiple times from a playbook. I thought I had a good thing
going here, until I realized upon the 2nd include of the play, the default
I intended for a var was set to a value which got set within the first
include of the play. I had thought that upon the 2nd include of the play,
all vars would get set again to my intended default value. But that didn't
happen.
The details of what's happening, including the playbook and play are at the
bottom...
And when you get there .. Is this expected? Is this a bug? Shouldn't it
work the way I expect?
The reason why I'm even going down this road is because ansible doesn't
support conditionally including a play within a playbook. "Conditions on
include don't apply to the include itself, it is applied to the tasks
included", from a previous post.
Thank you in advance!

In the run output below, I expect variable local_run_sushi_prepare_hamachi
to be False at line 23 in the play each and every time the play gets
included from the playbook. But, it doesn't. sadface.
