Puppet users - Aug 2008 - delay class load ???

I have the following example, but $testclass in testclass class can
never be initialized.   My guess is the testclass has already been
load in the basenode so the assignment in node1 and node2 can never
pass to testclass.  Is it possible to delay the class load or if there
any way to archive this?

thanks



class testclass {
    if $testclass_val {
    }
}

node basenode {
    include test class
}

node node1 inherits basenode{
   $testclass = "helloworld"
}

node node2 inherits basenode{
   $testclass = "hellomars"
}

exactly it is like that.

I throw any inheritance out of the nodes, as there it works different
from class inheritance and do them now in config classes. So I define
only variables in nodes and include only one class at the of a node.
this class then gathers all the other  classes through inheritance etc.
this made it a practical solution for me.

a working solution for you would be to include testclass after setting
the variable in every node.
