I have structures in group_vars files that looks roughly like the following:

Accounts1:
    files:
        - { src: 'src_path/filename1', dest: 'dest_path/filename1' }
        - { src: 'src_path/filename2', dest: 'dest_path/filename2' }
    app_groups:
        - { name: 'group1', gid: '1234' }
        - { name: 'group2', gid: '1235' }
        - { name: 'group3', gid: '1236' }
    app_accounts:
        - { name: 'account1', uid: '1234', home: '/home/account1', comment: 
'account1' }
        - { name: 'account2', uid: '1235', home: '/home/account2', comment: 
'account3' }
        - { name: 'account3', uid: '1236', home: '/home/account3', comment: 
'account3' }

Accounts2:
    files:
        - { src: 'src_path/filename3', dest: 'dest_path/filename3' }
        - { src: 'src_path/filename4', dest: 'dest_path/filename4' }
    app_groups:
        - { name: 'group4', gid: '2234' }
        - { name: 'group5', gid: '2235' }
        - { name: 'group6', gid: '2236' }
    app_accounts:
        - { name: 'account4', uid: '2234', home: '/home/account1', comment: 
'account4' }
        - { name: 'account5', uid: '2235', home: '/home/account2', comment: 
'account5' }
        - { name: 'account6', uid: '2236', home: '/home/account3', comment: 
'account6' }

And then I have a list that looks like this:
    Accounts: [ 'Accounts1', 'Accounts2' ]

I want to be able to iterate over the Accounts list to refer to the members 
of the structures something like the following:

    group: name="{{item.app_groups.name}}" gid="{{item.app_groups.gid}}"
    with_items: Accounts

It isn't quite working.  What I am finding is that 'item' in the group task 
is being populated with the strings "Accounts1" and "Accounts2", but what I 
really want in 'item' is the objects named Accounts1 and Accounts2.  So is 
there some way make 'item' be a reference to an object instead of an object 
itself?  I have tried 'with_item', 'with_nested', and 'with_dict', all to 
no avail.
    Thanks,
    -Mark
