Puppet users - Jun 2009 - make sure module_xy (if present/defined) is executed before everything else

Greetings,

Lets say i have a module, ''centos_base''[1] which kinda
bootstraps or
keeps a system to a certain standard. Packages, timezones, yum repos & 
prios, snmp config, ssh_auth keys, stuff like that.

Now, i would like to make sure that if a node has this module, it should 
always be executed prior to all other modules or definitions. No matter 
what.

This is (among other things) because in ''centos_base'' i set 
yum-priorities. If these are not set correctly the package installations 
of other modules might install the wrong version from the wrong 
repository. Whats a smart way to do this, without adding require 
statements to all "package {}" calls among all other modules?

Is there a different approach to solving this issue that i am not aware of?

cheers
Alex
