Well the exact answer to your question is:

lookup("roles::${category}::${class}::classes", Array, 'unique').include()

However, the code you've shown is implementing a hierarchy for class
assignment duplicative of the Hiera hierarchy. Why not use Hiera's
hierarchy to your advantage?

hiera.yaml:
   hierarchy:
    - name: "Role data"
      path: "roles/%{facts.category}.yaml"

Then have an array named classes, and just use

  lookup('classes', Array, 'unique').include()

Much easier. Don't make your own hierarchy, make use of Hiera.
