Issue #6934 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.
Subject changed from nonexistent classes specified in external node definitions
to non-fatal method for including classes
Status changed from Needs Decision to Needs More Information
Chuck I'm going to retitle this bug at the general desire.
One thing I do not wish to compromise on is consistent behavior between
declaring classes in the DSL and in an ENC, so we need to stop talking about
ENC specifically.
A workaround is to specify such classes in a parameter list, and then attempt
to include those with a non-fatal function.
I'm still not convinced that this is a valid use case. It's difficult to
achieve this without significantly compromising consistency across ENCs,
include and class {... } parameterized class declarations, and that
inconsistency has been a big problem for the user base.
I need to see more detail on use cases in this ticket before we make a decision.

Bug #6934: non-fatal method for including classes

There are use cases where people wish to attempt to include a given class, but
not to fail if it cannot be found.
This functionality was accidentally provided by external node classifiers in
2.6.x and earlier, but has been removed to achieve consistency in class
declarations between ENCs and the DSL.
It should be simple to copy the include function and replace errors with a log
message instead.
This probably isn't possible with parameterized classes.
