Puppet users - Jun 2009 - templates, ERB include, import or whatever

So I have been doing some testing of content => template.  Our site has used
a custom solution for configuration management w/ a mix of rsync/m4/make and
a little cfengine on the side.   Now for us the power of m4 is that not only
you can do variable substitution but it can include files.  I am looking to
be able to include files within a template w/ ERB but  from the
documentation that does not seem possible.  Or even if it is possible to
have a numter of templates listed in my content=> that would be
concatenated?
Anyone else trying to do this or have done this?

IIRC (and please do cross-check with the wiki/docu to make sure), the  
content attribute takes a string, whatever it is. template() is a  
puppet function that returns a string, which is a suitable content for  
the content attribute (sic). If you just want to concatenate a certain  
set of templates regardless of any logic, that would be a way to go.

Regarding the erb templates and the possibility to include other files/ 
templates: rails does it, so it''s possible, but I can''t say if
it''s
rails'' or erb''s doing.

BR,

Felix
