Do you have a root firebird class? In your init.pp for the firebird module, you
might consider adding something like this to create the dependency order you're
looking at.
Class['firebird::install'] -> Class['firebird::service']
All items in the firebird::install class will happen before the
firebird::service class.

Also, does the service start require the symlink to exist before you start the
service? you might want to consider adding a dependency here as well. Maybe a
'require => Exec['Create symlink for /var/fbdata'],'

Any reason this is an Exec as opposed to using the file resource to accomplish
this for you?
file { '/var/fbdata':
ensure => link,
target => '/var/lib/firebird/2.1/data
}
