Nope spoke too soon. Scoping screws this up.

For example:
class zones::global {
  $ntp_servers = ['ntp01.example.com',
                          'ntp02.example.com']
  $ntp_acls = ['']
  include ntp
}

class zones::nyc {
  $ntp_servers = ['ntp01.othersite.com',
                          'ntp02.othersite.com']

  include zones::global
}

node host1.example.com {
  include zones::nylrc
}

The variables in global are available to NYC but the variables I have
overridden in NYC are not available to global. In the end,
host1.example.com ends up with ntp01.example.com as it's NTP server
instead of ntp01.othersite.com because of scoping.

Am I crazy for thinking this sort of hierarchical structure would be
amazingly useful and is basically impossible with puppet?

Is there some reason I am missing that would make the above a terrible
idea?

Without the above sort of hierarchy I'm going to end up with a jumble
of logic statements and node descriptions that could otherwise be made
incredibly simple.

What am I missing?
