Re: [Puppet Users] Dependency Ordering

[Mark]

Also say I have a node "webapp" that has a rails application that runs on nginx. Should I add nginx to the node "webapp" or as a required dependency in since my rails application module?

node webapp {

include nginx

include railsapplication

}

OR

node webapp {

include railsapplication

}

class rails application {

require nginx

….

}

When structured like this does this mean that A,B,C and D will all be processed before Foo?

Short answer, yes.

The notify resource can be really useful for experimenting with stuff like this. I created a gist that you can clone and play with. https://gist.github.com/4146253

Classes A, B, C, and D will all be parsed before anything following the 'require' line in class Foo.  Resources declared directly by class A will be applied before resources declared directly by class Foo.  The given code does not declare any other ordering constraints.

It looks like you are running into issues related to the containment problem.  Search for documentation and discussion of the "anchor pattern" on this group and on the PL site for more information.
