Example:

variables:
  - name: BasePath

dependencies:
  - name: Foo
    template-folder: {{.BasePath}}/templates
    output-folder: {{.BasePath}}/output

Note how the template-folder and output-folder params of the Foo dependency use {{.BasePath}} to fill in the value entered for the BasePath variable.

Just ran into this use case myself, so +1.
