Puppet users - Jan 2011 - I have several instances of some 'services'

I have some ''service'' definitions in a parameterised class:

  class snort($name, $master) {
      service{
	"snort.$master":
             start => "sudo -u snort /home/snort/bin/restart-snort
$sensor" ,
......
}

which get invoked from within a define:

  define sensor ( $name, $master, $instance, $rule_categories,
$base_filter, $rule_files ) {

   class { snort:  stage => post, master => $master, sensor => $name }
  ..........

}

the service needs to be defined in a class to get the staging to work.

This works fine until I define another sensor on the same host then
puppet complains about duplicate classes.

The key thing is that I don''t want the services started until
everything else is in place -- I could possibly do this with a bunch
of requires but it would be messy as there are several.

Any ideas about the best way to handle this?
