You specify two resources here with the same title. That is not allowed.
What does the title mean here? What does the command property/parameter
means here? Why dont you write
command => 'XX' instead off command => 'command = XX'?

I guess one resource should match one »command = « line (like a host
resource describes one entry in /etc/hosts) right? How should puppet
know which line in myfile.cfg is the resource you're describing in your
manifest?

You can use the parsedfile provider. It supports prefetching an the
instances method. This way you can also purge lines with the resources
type:
resources { 'mytype':
purge => true,
}
But I guess you have to provide more info about your type to really be
able to help you here.
