What you have observed is correct - and yes its odd you'd think (if it was a normal programming language) that the "scope" of the definitions in the imported file was just within that imported file and its own children. But actually it extends to files that are imported later.
What happens I guess is CFEngine imports one file and then the second one and only they starts parsing them: so the scope of your definitions extends over both files. So the documentation is exactly true: it isnt carried "back up" to the parent ..... what it doesnt make clear is that it is available in files import after ;) _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
