I''ve found this isn''t the case depending on what
you''re affecting in your
manifests.  For example, making changes to NSS that are required by later
puppet manifests can still break as puppet hasn''t taken into account
for the
new NSS configs and doesn''t know how to find the users.  I work around
this by
using tags to bootstrap my system and then run the rest.

tldr: dependencies don''t fix everything
