I don't think it's possible in the same run. I'm quite familar with require. I've spent months trying to get all the dependancies correct on our software. It's been a nightmare and I'm actually afraid to touch it now for fear of breaking it, as it's so damn complicated. But... I think I'll have to stick with disabling puppet before an upgrade, performing the upgrade and then enabling puppet.
