Yes, you just have to be explicit and specify relationship.

The variables are evaluated during compilation so include the class
before you reference any variables. If you need resource in
foo::package applied before foo::specific:
require 'foo::package'
or 2.7 parametrized class:
class { 'foo::package':
version => 'latest',
}
Class['foo::package'] -> Class['foo::specific']

If you mean there's a variable in foo::common you want to reference in
foo::specific just use fully qualified variable and include
foo::common.
include foo::common
if $::foo::common:variable {
...
}
