Hi, 

In some devel version of 1.8 I was able to run this play with no problem.

Now I am unable to do it this way due to the changes.

Since most of our plays are built this way... is there a way to call playbooks within playbooks with a tag?

If not, what would the best way to fix this problem?

I think this functionality has been moved to roles. You can call roles with tags and I think also call dependency roles with tags.
