Pass variables to includes?

[mhulse]

There have been times where I'd like to tell an include something based on parent template … Maybe there's a better way that I'm not aware of, but it would be nice to have the ability to pass variables to the preprocessed include files.

For a Grunt example, grunt-include-replace:

@@include('/path/to/include/message.html', {"name": "Joe Bloggs"})

Would it makes sense for Preprocess to allow for variables, defined at the template level (i.e., at the time of the include call) to be passed to the included files?

If we come to a suitable solution for a @define call (#27), this could probably be solved that way

<!-- @define name "Joe Bloggs" -->
<!-- @include welcome_message.txt -->

👍 I'm game to see it solved using @define! 👍 Closing this issue in favor of that one. Thanks @jsoverson! Btw, I love preprocess! It's been very kind to me.

Was this ever implemented?
