From the Robot Framework User Guide there are two sections you may want to go through in more detail:

Both of these describe how to import variables and external keywords from external files. In essence a resource file is a regular robot file but without the test cases. It only contains keywords and has the regular settings and variable sections. It can be imported in your test suite file through the Resource common.robot construct: 

*** Settings ***
Resource          common.robot
Resource          feature_1.robot
Resource          feature_2.robot


*** Variables ***
${HOST}           localhost:7272

*** Keywords ***
Open Login Page
    Do something

You'll have to import the file created in the "Project" directory, and afterwards you'll have access to the variables and keywords defined in it.

If the file there is called "The_project_file.robot", in "Suite_1.robot":

*** Settings ***
Resource    ../The_project_file.robot

*** Test Case ***
TC_001
    Log    ${variable defined in The_project_file}
    ${value}=    Keyword Defined In The Project File
