Hi Daniel,
What I've done in the past is:
Foo.erb
<% foobar = scope.lookupvar('::somefact')
othervar = scope.lookupvar('class::variable')
lastvar = scope.lookupvar('myclass::myvar')
fqdn = scope.lookupvar('::fqdn')
-%>
#this file generated automatically by puppet for <%=fqdn%>
#manual changes will be reverted
<% if foobar -%>
Foo = <%=foobar%>
<%end-%>
... <stuff and things here > ...
Not sure if there's a better way, but I'm inter the impression (correct me if
I'm wrong here?) that scope.lookupvar will do the right thing as often as is
possible.
HtH!
