Bug #16314: Evaluation of parameterized class deferred when class has duplicate
bottom-level name

This is the same as previous bug #4778, but occurs when the bottom-level name
of a class is duplicated with another class.
Example:
<pre>
class foo {
$variable="foo variable"
}
class bar::foo {
class { "::foo":
}
notify { $::foo::variable: }
}
include bar::foo
</pre>
Results in:
<pre>
warning: Scope(Class[Bar::Foo]): Could not look up qualified variable
'::foo::variable'; class ::foo has not been evaluated at /tmp/test.pp:7
warning: Scope(Class[Bar::Foo]): Could not look up qualified variable
'::foo::variable'; class ::foo has not been evaluated at /tmp/test.pp:7
notice: undef
notice: /Stage[main]/Bar::Foo/Notify[undef]/message: defined 'message' as
'undef'
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.11 seconds
</pre>
However if `foo::bar` is renamed to something else, such as `foo::bar2`, it
works fine.
<hr />
An example use case where this issue is important is when using the puppet
`dashboard` module.
I would like to create a `puppet::server::dashboard` class which provides the
`settings.yml` file, and it needs to require
`Package[$::dashboard::dashboard_package]`. But since I can't look up
`$::dashboard::dashboard_package` I get the error `Could not find dependency
Package[undef]`
