Issue #2053 has been updated by Abay C.
in modules/foo/bar/ted.pp
define foo::bar::ted(){ code}
define private(){more code}
_________________
I have tested that private is not available as private OR foo::private OR
foo::bar::private OR foo::bar::ted::private to any code that's not part of the
module foo.
(3.0.2)
This is a good thing. Why would you consider removing it?
particularly since the DSL does not even have any looping constructs or
iterations.
I dont want manifest writers using my module internals to hack out a quick
result when I dont explicitly provide for it. The burden of every define/class
doing something valuable that can be used independently is simply wayy too high.
least surprise is the least of my worries. Some degree of encapsulation is high
on the agenda.

Bug #2053: Relative namespacing of class/define names results in big surprises
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2053#change-82306
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
}
