Seva-
What you probably want to do is package everything into a method. So,
something like this (I haven't checked it for syntax, I am just typing
to give you an idea). Note that you'll be saving space sometimes and
wasting sometimes depending on how many times you need to re-do a task,
so my example is the same size as yours, but consolidates and abstracts
the information into a "subroutine".

bundle agent domap(thing)
{
vars:
"conf_path" string => "/etc/mail";
files:
"$(conf_path)/$(thing)"
copy_from => my_scp("$(g.conf_path)/$(thing)"),
classes => if_repaired("$(thing)_updated"),
perms => mog("0400","mail","root"),
comment => "Set up mail server $(thing) configuration item";
commands:
"/usr/bin/makemap hash < $(conf_path)/$(thing) > $(conf_path)/$(thing).db"
useshell => "true",
comment => "Rebuild $(thing) database",
ifvarclass => canonify("$(thing)_updated");
}
bundle agent mailmaps
{
vars:
"db_cfg" slist => { "access", "virtuser" };
methods:
"any" usebundle => domap($db_cfg);
}
