Puppet users - Jan 2010 - content questions

So using the content => attribute on files is obviously very helpful.  We
are using it and templating to really do some powerful things.  However, I
have run into a few cases where I want to have for example have a file and
then prepend or append onto it another file(s).  Now I know I can redefine
the content attribute however if I had say more than one file to append my
logic becomes very hard to deal with.

Something like this is what I wanted to do but get a error about using a
private method ''split''.

class foo {

    $array = [''module/foo.erb'']

    file { foobarbaz:
        content => template($array)
    }
}

class bar inherits foo {
   $array += [''module/bar.erb'']
}

Anyone been trying to do something similar?
