Puppet users - Dec 2011 - a question about ensure file exists

hi all:
  if we need to ensure a file exist in a folder that not yet been created.
puppet will simplely report error.
for example:

 file { "/aaa/bbb/ccc/aaa"
     ensure => ''present'';
 }

if directory ccc not yet been created, puppet client excute will get an
error message.
Does puppet have any function to auto mkdir -p this path an make sure the
file exist?

Any reason you can''t do the following?

file { "/aaa/bbb/ccc"
     ensure => ''directory'',
}
