Local variables are not visible across an include because that would make them not local variables. Or more generally because that isn't how Ruby works.

In order to achieve what you want you need to use cookbook's helpers and libraries. As a start you can check this resources for libraries https://blog.chef.io/2014/03/12/writing-libraries-in-chef-cookbooks/

This is basic examples with helpers.

In your cookbook folder you needs to create libraries/helpers.rb file 

module MyCookbook
  module Helpers
    @@state_value ||= ''

    def set_state_value(v)
      @@state_value = v
      @@state_value
    end

    def get_state_value
      @@state_value
    end
  end
end

Chef::Recipe.send(:include, MyCookbook::Helpers)

Lets say that you have two recipes - A and B (executed sequently) in chef.

In A you put set_state_value("state value") and in B get_state_value and you have what you set from A recipe in B recipe.
