Yes, you're right.

That's exactly how it works. It ends up calling Compiler.add_override
for the same resource reference in both cases.

I just tested regular ressource override in the form of:
file {
        "/tmp/testing": content => "pouet"
}

File["/tmp/testing"] { mode => 0600 }
File["/tmp/testing"] { group => devl }

This works, and doesn't impose to be in an inherited subscope.
Of course if we try to override the same parameter twice an error is
raised.

Did we loose the overriding in inherited classes only restriction?
Or maybe it has never been enforced?
