Yep, after reading a little more (puppet is really complex) I have
modified things and now I have dependencies between types.
All my modules are, now, "defines", and I have a big class where I call
my own definitions and there I set my dependencies.
define yaim {
pbs_client { "pic":
require => Local_users["pic_users"],
}
local_users { "pic_users":
require => Local_groups["pic_groups"],
}
local_groups { "pic_groups":
require => File["/opt/localconf/gLite3.1/yaim"],
}

Thanks for your advice. I've modified things are now "modules" refer
to a complete services... but I come from quattor, and changing my
point of view is quiet hard...
