For example: When role **A** includes role **B**, inside role B, ``ansible_parent_role_names`` will equal to ``['A']``. If role **B** then includes role **C**, the list becomes ``['B', 'A']``.
ansible_parent_role_paths
When the current role is being executed by means of an :ref:`include_role <include_role_module>` or :ref:`import_role <import_role_module>` action, this variable contains a list of all parent roles, with the most recent role (in other words, the role that included/imported this role) being the first item in the list.

Please refer to ``ansible_parent_role_names`` for the order of items in this list.
