include_vars and include before hosts play i need to implement

[pinky]

Hi,

    I have created my own custom library , i added my custom library in the common folder of my repository.In that i need to pass variables dyanamically .Its a confidential password,so iam using "vault" in ansible.

  In that my requirement is how to pass include_vars in the tasks\main.yml before hosts.

e.g: mytasks.yml

  - include_vars: sample_vault.yml

  - include: sample_tasks.yml

  - hosts: localhost

    tasks:

      name: "free task"

      command: ls -a

my directory structure like this:

  myfolder

    - common 

        -library   

           -my file.py

        - sample_tasks.yml

    - mytasks

        -mytasks.yml(my main master playbook file)

        -sample_vault.yml  (note:i create this using vault for confidential purpose)

        - roles

           -myrole

Here i need to run sample_tasks file using a variables passed in sample_vault.yml file before i execute the hosts tasks using ansible.If i use extra variable means password is visible so i dont need that.

When i use include_vars in my tasks/main.yml file, it shows the following error:

"ERROR! 'include_vars' is not a valid attribute for a Play"

Thanks

No tasks can live outside of a play, except for `include` and this exception only applies when it is including plays.

include_vars must be inside a play.
