I distilled the problem down to a simple YAML file:

- hosts: apps2

  vars:
    TOP_BAD: ".."

  tasks:
  - name: check TOP
    debug: msg="{{TOP}}"

  handlers:
    - include: "{{TOP}}/handlers/apache_graceful.yml"

When I save this in inc.yml and run this command:

ansible-playbook -i ../hosts inc.yml 

I get this output:

ERROR: file could not read: /home/tekberg/src/ansible_scripts/
provision_apps2/{{TOP}}/handlers/apache_graceful.yml

The actual problem is that the variable TOP is not defined, which should 
have been detected prior to trying to open the file. If I change TOP_BAD to 
TOP, the script runs to completion with no errors.

Why didn't the interpolation code complain that TOP was undefined?
