Hard to say why that would fail. I copy-n-pasted your file and it worked
for me, although I named it slightly differently.
For completeness, here's my playbook and file:
[utoddl@tango ansible]$ cat include_vars.yml
---
- name: testing include_vars
hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: include the vars file
ansible.builtin.include_vars:
file: ./include_vars_file.yml
- name: show users
debug:
msg: "{{ users }}"
[utoddl@tango ansible]$ cat include_vars_file.yml
---
# file vars/users.yml
timestamp:
sep2023: 1693864800 # date --date=09/05/2023 +%s
users:
a_user:
name: a_user
passwd: $6$FF.DN/vbue.2i9/vla6h8xpZhx4L/dppBbnnCWN8hZ0
uid: 3007
comment: log receiver
expires: '{{timestamp.sep2023}}'
[utoddl@tango ansible]$ ansible-playbook include_vars.yml -vv
ansible-playbook [core 2.12.9]

Hello team,
I would like to use variables in a vars file, like this :
##############
---
# file vars/users.yml
timestamp:
sep2023: 1693864800 # date --date=09/05/2023 +%s
users:
a_user:
name: a_user
passwd: $6$FF.DN/vbue.2i9/vla6h8xpZhx4L/dppBbnnCWN8hZ0
uid: 3007
comment: log receiver
expires: '{{timestamp.sep2023}}'
##############
but when load the file with ansible.builtin.include_vars
I get the error : timestamp' is undefined
How can i do that ?
