Hi Chris, Take a look at run stages http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html#stages They make it a little easier to perform some coarse ordering.
additionally, you can use PuppetLabs stdlib module and take advantage of the anchor pattern sparingly. Here's a good example of its use: https://github.com/adrienthebo/puppetlabs-mrepo/blob/master/manifests/init.pp Hope that helps!
