I would suggest, instead, this:
define base ($ntp, ...) {
case $ntp {
'master': { include ntp::master }
...
default: { fail("sorry, ntp $ntp is an unknown value") }
}
}
[...]

Essentially, use 'fail' when it isn't set. You can pull this up a bit by, for
example, using the define there without a default value, but it essentially
comes down to the same thing.

You can't. At least, not trivially: puppet doesn't let you ask questions like
"what is the IP address of the server(s) including the ntp::master class".
Your choices come down to writing it in the manifest somewhere, or using a
fact or external tool that works it out for you.

Nothing I can see; when *I* started this I used node inheritance, which is a
mistake, because it is useless. Your approach isn't. :)
