solved in a ugly way.. 

#not yet working in ansible release 2.3.x
#  when: lookup('vars', item|basename, default=false)
  when: confobjs[item|basename]|default(false)
  vars:
    confobjs: "{% set objs = {} %}\
               {% set objs1 = objs|combine({'firstconfobj': firstconfobj}) 
if firstconfobj is defined %}\
               {% set objs = obj1 %}\         
               {% set objs1 = objs|combine({'secondconfobj': 
secondconfobj}) if secondconfobj is defined %}\
               {% set objs = obj1 %}\         
               #and so on         
               {{ objs }}"
