My problem is, in this case, there are machines that need X but not

those cases out separately, but that means duplication of code for
setting up the parts of X and Y that aren't dependant.
Custom facts are probably the best way for me to do this, but I'd
love to hear that there's a simpler way.
If you can decide in your node source (site.pp or external) which
components are needed, this is very easy:
node a { include X }
node b { include Y }
node c { include X,Y }
node d { }
If you **cannot** decide in your node source, you're probably doing
something wrong[1] and need to explain your problem better.

[1] I know, converting legacy systems is a pain, but IMHO you're still
better off doing a manual survey and nailing it down instead of trying
to make automatic decisions that'll backfire down the road.
