From https://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/function.html#hierainclude
To use hiera_include, the following configuration is required:
• A key name to use for classes, e.g. classes.
• A line in the puppet sites.pp file (e.g.
/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/manifests/sites.pp) reading hiera_include('classes').
Note that this line must be outside any node definition and below any top-scope
variables in use for Hiera lookups.

The way hiera_include is being used is just asking for unexpected effects.

Whilst I don't like it, I'm intrigued as to what is scaring you?
Looks like someone has modelled profiles in hiera/yaml rather than saying
include profile::aa
and having
class profile::aa () {
include syslog
include ttys
....
Perhaps they just felt like it?
If you trust people puppet you are trusting them with the resources the
manifests are applied to. Probably best if they don't scare you ;)

It scared the beans out of me when I found this code in a manifest I am tasked

Does this look as outrageously wrong to you all as it looks to me ?
Variable names have been edited to protect the guilty
class role::one {
hiera_include('profile::aa')
hiera_include('profile::bb')
hiera_include('profile::cc')
}
...and then in common.yaml:
profile::aa :
- syslog
- ttys
