[chef] Q about accessing variables from other recipe and splitting attribute files by folders

[Daniil S < >]

Hello.

I would be grateful if you answer a couple questions.

1. Is it possible to access variables defined in one recipe from the other? For example:

cookbooks/cookbook_name/default.rb:
    foo = :bar

cookbooks/cookbook_name/somerecipe.rb:
    template syspath do
      source repopath
      variables( :params => foo )
    end

2. Is it possible to load attributes from files located in subdirectory of attribute folder? For example:

cookbooks/
|-cookbook_name/
||-attributes/
||-default.rb
|||-attribute_folder1/
||||-one_more_attribute_file.rb
|||-attribute_folder2/
||||-one_more_attribute_file.rb

Thanks in advance, Daniil.
