In think your example gives a false idea of a solution because you
have only one call to the definition
If you don't know in advance how many call you'll have to use,
you must say N times some thing like => testdefine{"name_${test_i}":
param => $testparam_i }
Moreover if you have several arguments to the definition you end up
with a bunch of parameters to deal with.
So each time you want to change the number of calls, you have to
modify the class, which mean writing some .pp file
Thus the benefits of using external node is lost by the need to modify
this class each time.

well, it's an extension of the discussion. If i can't do something
with the language it is a good question to know if we can change or
extend it, no ?
Do you want me to start a new topic ?
