clarification about using notify in the context of include_tasks

[nusenu]

Hi,

I'm in the process of migrating from "include" to import_* and include_* 's.

During that the following question came up:

Could I replace an include [1] with include_tasks even if the included
file makes use of notify [2]?

[1] https://github.com/nusenu/ansible-relayor/blob/master/tasks/main.yml#L55
[2]
https://github.com/nusenu/ansible-relayor/blob/master/tasks/apt_prepare.yml#L7

The question came up because of these sentences in the documentation:

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbooks_reuse.html writes:

> You cannot use notify to trigger a handler name which comes from
> inside a dynamic include (see note below).

> Regarding the use of notify for dynamic tasks: it is still possible
> to trigger the dynamic include itself, which would result in all
> tasks within the include being run.

I shortly tried include_tasks on that task (currently using include) and
it worked fine, but I wanted to make sure this is supported since the
documentation is not very clear about that.

thanks,
nusenu
