Nitpick: the classes you describe next are not *sub*classes; those involve
class inheritance. Yours are simply other classes in the module.

I do not see any problem with the code you posted. Are you certain it is
exactly what appears in your manifests? The behavior you describe could
easily be explained by a difference between init.pp and storm.pp in the
spelling of the variable name. Perhaps something subtle such as an
accidentally doubled underscore somewhere.
