Puppet users - Jun 2014 - Puppet newbie, Apache vHosts, and trying to do it the right way

Alright, this is definitely a Puppet 101 question, and I am sure that the 
Puppet docs have an answer for this and I am just dense and can't find it. 

I'm trying to teach myself Puppet, with the goal of managing the VPS I run 
with it. Additionally, when I get a better grasp on things, I want to 
deploy it at work. So while my home deployment will be small, I want to 
learn how to "do it right."

I have a vanilla Puppet server and an agent. Both are managed through 
Puppet.

Right now, on my agent node, I'm configuring Apache. I've got code like 
this in my nodes.pp:

###
node 'hostname' {
  include 'ntp'
  include 'sudo'
  class { 'vim':
    opt_misc => 
['nu','fo=tcq','nocompatible','modeline','tabstop=2','expandtab','softtabstop=2','shiftwidth=2','backspace=indent,eol,start'],
  }
  class { 'apache':
    serveradmin => 'whatever',
  }
  apache::vhost{ 'www.example.com':
    default_vhost   => true,
    docroot         => '/var/www/html/www.example.com',
    logroot         => '/var/log/httpd/www.example.com',
    access_log_file => 'access_log',
    error_log_file  => 'error_log',
    override        => 'all',
  }

  some more vhosts
  ...
}
###

It seems like best practice is to put all of these configs in some separate 
directory/file so I could end up with something like:

###
node 'hostname' {
  include 'ntp'
  include 'sudo'
  class { 'vim':
    opt_misc => $std_vim_ops
  }
  include 'vhost1'
  include 'vhost2'
}
###

Now I guess I can make modules for each vhost, but that doesn't seem right. 
How would I go about doing this? (Bear in mind that my second block of code 
is just a rough approximation and I don't really know the right way to 
write out what I want to do.)

Thanks for your patience. I've been searching for answers and not really 
understanding what I come up with.
