Assuming you did something like:
# modulepath/modules/settings/manifests/init.pp
class settings {
$my_var1 = "myvar1"
}
and include the class "settings", from other classes you can refer to it as:
$settings::my_var1
Does that help?
I noticed you used the word "import". The most frictionless way to use
Puppet these days is to avoid import, and to instead structure your classes
in modules, and use the autoloader and "include" classes rather than
importing manifest files.
