It is incorrect that you must use run stages to achieve your desired ordering. In fact, it is *never* the case that run stages are the only solution to ordering issues in Puppet, because there is nothing you can do with them that you cannot also do with ordinary resource relationships. In many cases, solving an ordering problem by use of run stages is like putting in a tack with a sledgehammer: not only is it overkill, it also doesn't afford much precision or finesse. I have no experience with the module in question, so I have no specific suggestions to offer, but if you find run stages too crude a tool for your task then I can advise you about how to achieve your ordering requirements otherwise.
