Not possible by YAML alone. But you might be able to write your own
preprocessor.

Another option that I have used is to process the file through ERB,
before parsing it. This would allow youd to do such like:

  ---
  a: 1
  b: 2
  <%= File.read('config2.yml') %>

But of course you have to be careful with formating in cases like
this.
