I can guess 2 different approaches:
1- Moving the 2 file definitions in a class, included by the define.
It's exactly whsat you don't like, but since the variables used in
these 2 file types can be considered "local" and are not used in the
define, you should be able to do that without problems
2- Use the software_install_dir variable in the name of the file
types, and add the fixed path, something like:
file { "$download_dir-$software_install_dir":
owner => root,
group => root,
mode => 700,
ensure => directory,
path => $download_dir,
}
file { "$download_dir/$install_script-$software_install_dir":
backup => false,
owner => root,
group => root,
mode => 700,
source => "puppet:///source_location/
$install_script",
require => File["$download_dir"],
path => $download_dir/$install_script,
}
I personally find the first choice much better.
My 2 cents
