this should work.

what kind of errors? which version of puppet are you using?

In general I try to avoid defined, as in my opinion this is some kind of
codesmell. But there are valid situations for that function.

regarding to functions: they go into manifests. Where else do you
imagine they could go? I mean if not in manifests you might assume that
they could go somewhere else. And maybe you could raise a ticket about
that point where documentation is not clear. Thanks.
