first, don't put anything under group_vars/host_vars that you want to
selectively load, these files will load automatically if matched. Using
include_vars against group/host_vars is not recommended.

2nd the easiest way is putting them in a vars/ folder adjacent to play (or
in role) and use include_vars:

- include_vars: "{{item}}.yml"
  with_items: "{{apps}}"

if what you want it to load both files with last one overriding previous
ones when the same vars are in multiple files.
