I still don't get it. I have the file showdist.yml:

Now I include it from main playbook.yml:
---
> - hosts: localhost
> - include: showdist.yml
It fails with:
PLAY [otherhost]
**************************************************************
skipping: no hosts matched
But when I do this:
---
> - hosts: localhost
> - include: showdist.yml host='localhost'
It works. And I am surprised, because for more complicated file it didn't
work.
