Do you mean something like this?
> cat $modulesdir/virtual/manifests/init.pp
class virtual {
@user { ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']: ensure => present }
}
> cat $modulesdir/mailserver/manifests/init.pp
class mailserver {
realize(User['a'], User['b'], User['c'])
# some more mailserver stuff...
}
> cat $modulesdir/webserver/manifests/init.pp
class webserver {
realize(User['b'], User['c'], User['d'])
# some more webserver stuff...
}
> cat $manifestsdir/nodes.pp
node /<somenode>/ {
include virtual
include mailserver
include webserver
}
