include_recipe in library

Is there anyway to add ‘include_recipe’ to a library method, then use that method in both the recipe context as well as resource context?

An example of this is below.

class MyApp

Recipe Helpers

module Helper
def license
if node[‘use_vault’]
include_recipe 'chef-vault’
chef_vault_item(node[‘data_bag’], node[‘data_bag_item’])[‘license’]
else
node[‘myapp’][‘license’]
end
end
end
end

Chef::Recipe.send(:include, MyApp::Helper)
Chef::Resource.send(:include, MyApp::Helper)

Works:

my_license = license

template ‘/etc/my.cfg’ do
variables(:license => my_license)
end

Doesn’t work:

template ‘/etc/my.cfg’ do
variables(:license => license)
end
