Is there a concept of shared variables among policy files?

No, there isn’t (yet). Policy variables are local to the policy file.

An effect similar to the shared variables can be achieved with derived roles.

I experienced a lot of re-use when writing policies and ended up using ytt to define some variables in a single file and add them to different policy files automatically
