This is very good solution too (my nginx role also accounts for this).
I would also provide sane default values whenever possible via
role/defaults/main.yml to not force configuration upon user if not
necessary.

Yes -- I totally agree that setting these shared-between-roles variables
in group_vars/all.yml is the way to go. And I also agree with Maciej in
that you shouldn't force a user to configure things in their inventory
vars if you can provide sensible values in role/defaults/main.yml --
which is what I've done and demonstrated -- and which is why I started
this dang thread to begin with.
Setting the shared-between-roles variables in group_vars/all.yml is
probably the way to go; as it avoids needing to depend on roles when all
you need is a var from it, or the alternative of using include_vars, but
it does force the user to add values to their inventory.
