Absolutely. I use this technique to help combat the deprecation of include
+ with_items. Something like:
```
- name: normalize apache_sites_list into variable file
local_action: template dest={{ apache_sites_var_file }}
src="apache_sites_normalized.j2"
- name: load normalized `apache_sites_normalized` from variable file
include_vars: "{{ apache_sites_var_file }}"
- name: remove variable file
local_action: file path={{ apache_sites_var_file }} state=absent
```
where apache_sites_var_file is defined as:
apache_sites_var_file: /tmp/ansible.apache_sites.{{ inventory_hostname
}}.yml
NOTE that it uses {{ inventory_hostname }} to help prevent issues with
parallel execution.
May be an "anti pattern" in this establishment; but helped me write cleaner
playbooks.
