Thanks guys, I agree--that definitely looks the same as what I reported. Nice 
to know it's fixed. We'll probably be looking at 3.0 early next year.

Bug #2053: Relative namespacing of class/define names results in big surprises
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2053#change-78057

Author: Lawrence Ludwig
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Lee Lowder
Category: modules
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 0.24.7
Keywords: telly deprecation modules classes namespaces names
Branch: 


Due to Puppet's relative namespacing of class names, `include bar` does not 
mean "declare class `bar`." It actually means "try to declare class `<current 
namespace>::bar`, class `<parent of current namespace>::bar`, and so on, 
declaring class `bar` only as a last resort."

    class bar {
      notice("From class bar")
    }
    class foo::bar {
      notice("From class foo::bar")
    }
    class foo {
      include bar
    }
    include foo

This is maximally surprising, especially considering the prevalence of things 
like:

    class apache::nagios {
      include nagios # joke's on you, because this just includes apache::nagios 
again
    }
