Making defined() (and other parse-order dependent stuff) parse-order independent would require a complete rework of the way puppet evaluates manifests, so that it can solve complex logical problems, like what should happen when two parts of a configuration depend on each other? Without proof, I believe that a general solution for that would be NP-hard (because it might be a SAT instance, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_satisfiability_problem).
