Answer 1

In Your example, apache.yml is tasklist, but not playbook

In depends on desired architecture, You can do one of:

1. Convert apache.yml to role. Then define tasks in roles/apache/tasks/mail.yml and variables in roles/apache/defaults/mail.yml (vars in defaults can be overriden when role applied)

2. Set vars in play.yml playbook

play.yml

- hosts: 127.0.0.1
  connection: local
  sudo: false

  vars:
    url: czxcxz

  tasks:
     - include: apache.yml

apache.yml

- name: Download apache
  shell: wget {{url}}
