You can reference variables within variables.
e.g.
# group_vars/all
---
apple: JameslikesApples
banana: IwentToSanFrancisco
# group_vars/thing1
---
basket: {{ apple }}
# group_vars/thing2
---
basket: {{ banana }}
Then, you can reference {{ basket }} in your playbook or template:
# site.yml
---
tasks:
- name: my basket is cool
debug: msg="My basket says, {{ basket }}"
Which would translate to
For all hosts in group `thing1`: "My basket says, JameslikesApples"
For all hosts in group `thing2`: "My basket says, IwentToSanFrancisco"
