It would nice if the following was supported:

  - add class A to group A
  - group B inherits from group A, un-includes class A

There may be security reasons why this would be less than desirable (but these 
are probably not valid since its already possible to override resources using 
inheritance).

# use case (if this helps clarify things :) )

The most common use case that I have is where a service is disabled by default, 
and some overriding group may want to enable it. This can be accomplished by 
using class inheritance in Puppet, but I dont like the idea that an enabling 
class should be the child of a disabling class (it seems like a reverse of how 
it should be modeled)

the ideal way to achieve it would be 

group A
  include service::disable

group B
  uninclude service::disable
  include service
