There are several potential problems with it; the way puppet works, the
point at which a class is included can be very important. For example,
if the openldap-client class is sensitive to global variables, which
might be set differently in different contexts, then this might include
the class early, before those have been set. It also forces the
inclusion of that specific class, rather than any class that might
inherit from it.
So it all hangs on the way the OP uses these classes, but I do find it
very important in puppet to avoid unnecessary dependences.
