[Puppet Users] Problem with variable scoping

[Saurabh Verma]

I have two a base class

*class A {
    $project = mailbox
    $nagios_hostgroup = "X"
    $nagios_contact_groups = "Y"
    include base_node                ## All the common classes goes here
}

node mailbox-base {
    include A
}

class A-nagios  {
    include A-common
    # defines for nagios configurations
    nagios_contact_group { "$nagios_hostgroup" : contactgroup_name => 
$nagios_hostgroup , alias_name => $nagios_hostgroup   , members => 
$nagios_hostgroup }
    nagioscontact  { $nagios_hostgroup : contact_name  => 
$nagios_hostgroup , alias_name => $nagios_hostgroup }
    nagioshostgroup { $nagios_hostgroup : hostgroup_name => 
$nagios_hostgroup , alias_name => $nagios_hostgroup }
}

node mailbox-base-nagios {
    include A-nagios
}

*
If i define my classes like these , I can't see $project , 
$nagios_hostgroup , $nagios_contact_groups in the *host* inheriting node 
mailbox-base-nagios . 

If i put variable explicitly in class A-nagios , it works for me

class A-nagios  {
     $project = mailbox
    $nagios_hostgroup = "X"
    $nagios_contact_groups = "Y"
    include A-common
    # defines for nagios configurations
    nagios_contact_group { "$nagios_hostgroup" : contactgroup_name => 
$nagios_hostgroup , alias_name => $nagios_hostgroup   , members => 
$nagios_hostgroup }
    nagioscontact  { $nagios_hostgroup : contact_name  => 
$nagios_hostgroup , alias_name => $nagios_hostgroup }
    nagioshostgroup { $nagios_hostgroup : hostgroup_name => 
$nagios_hostgroup , alias_name => $nagios_hostgroup }
}

Is there any other better method to accomplish what I'm trying to do ??


I'm using puppet version 0.24.8 on centos .
