Puppet users - Feb 2014 - File.exists? validation failure when trying to create file in same catalogue

Afternoon all

I'm currently doing some final testing on my Glassfish module[1] before I 
look to release it. 

However I've just stumbled across an issue where-by Puppet fails the run 
based on some File.exists? validation in one of the types, which is trying 
to use a file that is being created earlier in the catalogue... 

E.g: 
> $ cat glassfish.pp
> package { 'unzip': ensure => present }
>
> include glassfish
>
> file { '/tmp/asadmin.pass':
>   ensure => present,
> #  path => '/tmp/asadmin.pass',
>   content => 'AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=adminadmin',
>   mode => '0644',
>   require => Class['glassfish']
> }
>
> glassfish::create_domain {'test':
>   asadmin_passfile => '/tmp/asadmin.pass',
>   require => File['/tmp/asadmin.pass']
> }
>
The exception I'm getting is:
> $ sudo puppet apply --modulepath=~/modules/ glassfish.pp -v
> Info: Loading facts in 
> /home/vagrant/modules/stdlib/lib/facter/pe_version.rb
> Info: Loading facts in

And that exception is being thrown from here[2]. 

Is there any way of working around this? I've tried putting in *autorequire 
*behaviour like so:
>   # Autorequire the password file
>   autorequire(:file) do
>     self[:passwordfile]
>   end
>
However I still get the same failure on testing... 

Thoughts/comments welcome.
