I am using "require" for this problem...like in this case:
file { "/usr/local/bb19c":
recurse => true,
source => "puppet://$server/modules/$module/bb19c",
owner => "bb",
group => "bin",
ensure => directory,
require => [ Class["general::groups"],
Class["general::users"]],
}
This is an excerpt of my "BigBrother.pp" which defines a class for the
module "general".
The user bb and group bin are only available if the classes
general::groups and general::user are run first.
Without "require" or "before" puppet seems to run more or less
randomly through the manifests.
I hope I got your problem right ;)
