Put it in a module, don't ab^H^Huse import to load classes/defines. I

Verify on the puppet master the manifests are working as expected
first before you try client/server. Normally you should write a test
manifest, but in this case since it's in the default node, simply run
puppet apply site.pp --noop to verify it's detecting baseclass.

You should not need to do that. There's a buggy behavior on passenger
where you may need to run puppet agent twice:

No, puppet will auto detect changes to puppet manifests and compile a
new catalog.
