It's 2019 and using variables in Pug (previously Jade) mixins has become simple.

When creating your mixin, you can give it parameters as per value(s) you're expecting to pass to the mixin. You can access any nested values using dot notation.

mixinFile.pug:

mixin myMixin(parameter1, parameter2, parameter3)
    h2.MyHeading #{parameter1}
    p.MyParagraph #{parameter2.myVariable}
    .MyBox(id= parameter3.id)

index.pug:

include mixinFile
block content
    +MyMixin(variable1, variable2, variable3)

You can read more in the official Pug documentation on Mixins.
