can roles and tasks exist in the same playbook?

Question

---
# file: main.yml

- hosts: fotk
  remote_user: fakesudo
  tasks:
  - name: create a developer user
    user: name={{ user }}
          password={{ password }}

Short follow up to the already mentioned options by quoting the latest Ansible docs docs.ansible.com/latest/playbooks_reuse_roles:

As of Ansible 2.4, you can now use roles inline with any other tasks using import_role or include_role:

---    
- hosts: webservers
  tasks:
    - debug:
      msg: "before we run our role"
    - import_role:
      name: example
    - include_role:
      name: example
    - debug:
      msg: "after we ran our role"`

Code snippet is also from Ansible docs.

Be aware of the difference between static (import*) & dynamic (include*) usage.
