Is it possible to Chef `include_recipe` and indicate `only_if`/not_if` condition?

Solution
`include_recipe` isn't a normal resources in Chef but a normal method. Because of that, it ignores the passed block and subsequently the `only_if` condition specified there.
Fortunately, there occurs to be a solution for this. flaccid user from #chef freenode channel suggested the following solution, which works perfectly.
this_node_is_shard_broker = node["hostname"].include? "node2"
include_recipe "cubrid" if this_node_is_shard_broker
The above will execute `include_recipe` only if the hostname of the current running node is `node2`, which is exactly what I wanted to achieve.
Problem
I want to `include_recipe` `only_if` some condition is met. The following code doesn't raise any error but it doesn't care about the `only_if` condition either, so gets executed in any cases: ``` include_recipe "cubrid" do only_if "hostname | grep 'blahblahshouldnotmatch'" end ``` Is it possible to `include_recipe` only on some condition?
