Issue #13349 has been updated by Chris Price.
File 13349.pp added
Status changed from Unreviewed to Investigating
Yes, that is the expected behavior for current versions of puppet. I've
attached a slightly updated manifest which demonstrates that if you prefer to
be explicit about accessing something in the global scope, rather than starting
from within the class scope, you can prefix it with a leading "::" (e.g.:
class { '::bar::something': }
We may take steps to try to make the scope resolution more intuitive in the
future, but this behavior does meet the current expectations.
Thanks!

Bug #13349: Odd search order for manifests when names partially match
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13349#change-58777
Author: Mark Dixon
Status: Investigating
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category: modules
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.11
Keywords:
Branch:
I find that if I try and include manifest `bar::something` from within
`foo::test`, puppet preferentially finds `foo::bar::something` instead of
`bar::something`. Puppet 2.7.11.
Please consider the following puppet code which demonstrates this:
<PRE>
$ cat test.pp
class { 'foo::test': }
class foo::test {
class { 'bar::something': }
}
# /.*bar::something/ manifests
# - This is the one I thought I'd get
class bar::something {
notify { 'peep peep!': withpath => true }
}
# - This is the one that "wins"
class foo::bar::something {
notify { 'poop poop!': withpath => true }
}
</PRE>
Running it gives:
<PRE>
$ puppet apply test.pp
notice: /Stage[main]/Foo::Bar::Something/Notify[poop poop!]/message: poop poop!
notice: /Stage[main]/Foo::Bar::Something/Notify[poop poop!]/message: defined
'message' as 'poop poop!'
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.05 seconds
</PRE>
Is this a bug?
Thanks,
Mark
