initial version

A solution to this problem has been added to roslaunch version 1.12.1, released on April 18, 2016. (ATM the debian repos are at version 1.12.0, so you'll either have to wait or download the github sources)

roslaunch 1.12.1 adds support for evaluation of arbitrary python expressions using the syntax $(eval <expression>). With this change, the following is possible:

<arg name="robot" default="mh5_mesh" />
<include file="$(eval find(arg('robot')) + '...')"/>

args are available as python variables, so the following is equivalent:

<arg name="robot" default="mh5_mesh" />
<include file="$(eval find(robot) + '...')"/>
