No, at least not with HIera's built-in YAML back-end. YAML has no facility such as you describe, so to get it you would need to engage a YAML parser that supported such a thing as an extension. > The reason is some data is automatically extract from a database, those > data is specific to that host.

If you don't want to use it for your purpose then you always have the alternative of writing a custom Hiera back-end, or, for some purposes, an altogether separate data lookup function. With that said, I'm not really following the nature of your problem. How would the availability of an 'include' statement mitigate the data-size issue you are concerned about?
