Richard -- If I'm understanding you correctly, you've accurately described the behaviour but it isn't really a problem. Stages aren't classes, and they don't "do" anything unless you put resources in them, so there's no real downside to having them global (which they effectively are). Conversely, it isn't really meaningful to nest them in classes, since they only exist as an organizing system among classes.
Think of stages as named time intervals like "before breakfast" or "right after falling asleep" or even "just after typing the 43rd letter of an e-mail"; we all have them (they are global) but only a few of us ever even think about them. Does that help? -- Markus -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
