Puppet users - Aug 2012 - Can I re-use a Exec resource from multiple un-related classes?

The idea is that let say I have a Class define as "helperFunctions"
where I put in a bunch of shell script exec resources, along with some file
resources as requirement.

Can I then have other classes'' resource to  Subscribe and/or Notify to
specific Exec resource within that helperFunction class?

The only interClass dependency I''ve done based on puppet''s
example are all per class, not per resource… So is this possible and
what''s the proper syntax for it?

Thanks in advance.

Looks like with some testing I answered my own question. :)

As soon as the ''helpFunction'' class is included in a node, I
can simply notify the resource there from other classes as well. If I re-define
the Exec resource in other classes I would ended up getting multi-define error.

Yes, all classes *and resources* in Puppet have global scope and visibility 
once declared.  Furthermore, resources are not namespaced.
