So, I believe (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) that defines are
actually separately scoped from the classes that contain them and cannot
currently be overridden.
The nesting that you have below is merely a convenience for writing:
define test::myfile () { ... }
I would suggest either using a template or an inline 'if/case' statement
to apply the logic you require.
