Let me try again:
*playbook.yml *- this file doesn't change
---
- hosts: localhost
- include: showdist.yml host='localhost'
*showdist.yml* - first version:
---
> - hosts: "{{ host | default('otherhost') }}"
> tasks:

debug: msg="ping"
$ ansible-playbook -i hosts showdist.yml
PLAY [otherhost] ***
$ ansible-playbook -i hosts playbook.yml
PLAY [localhost] ***
PLAY [localhost] ***
Not that the last PLAY message is from showdist.yml included from
playbook.yml
It run correctly against 'localhost'. For me - this works as expected
Now I add vars section in *showdist.yml v2*:
---
- hosts: "{{ host | default('otherhost') }}"
vars:
- irrelevant: "just for vars section"
tasks:
- debug: msg="ping"
And showdist.yml stops to run against localhost when included from
playbook.yml
$ ansible-playbook -i hosts showdist.yml
PLAY [otherhost] ***
$ ansible-playbook -i hosts playbook.yml
PLAY [localhost] ***
PLAY [otherhost] ***
Why?
