Stephen Brust's Vlad Taltos novels have something similar, but (at least from what I've read) it is only a minor element.

When Vlad is given a bit of a history lesson, he is told the story of the traitor Dolivar. Vlad doesn't really like the sound of the guy. Vlad gets told that he is the reincarnation of Dolivar. A point is made that Vlad had joined House Jhereg, which is the House created by Dolivar. Aliera, who is a reincarnation of one of the people Dolivar betrayed, treats Vlad as something like a brother because of their history. She also wants to see whether Vlad will be like Dolivar, or will he be different.
