Bug #11451: multiple definitions of class allowed; multiple declarations gives 
misleading error
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11451

Author: Christian Warden
Status: Merged - Pending Release
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Nick Fagerlund
Category: documentation
Target version: 2.7.11
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: 


A class can be defined multiple times, but when a class is declared multiple 
times, the error is "Duplicate definition".
    class test {
      file { '/tmp/test1.txt': content => 'test1'}
    }

    class test {
      file { '/tmp/test2.txt': content => 'test2'}
    }

    class { 'test': }
    class { 'test': }

This results in an error of
    Duplicate definition: Class[Test] is already defined in file /tmp/test.pp 
at line 9; cannot redefine at /tmp/test.pp:10 on node example.com
