Just a quick note, not strictly related to your question Be careful when including classes with nodes' inheritance: if you set a variable, for example, in the node "web" that is used by classes included in the baseline class, that variable' value will be ignored. It's a typical "variables scoping issue" that has contributed to the bad reputation of the nodes' inheritance layout.
My rule of thumb is: Use node's inheritance ONLY to set and override variables, and include classes ONLY at the $hostname node level (at the ned of the inheritance tree) To avoid duplications you case still include webstuff there and in the webstaff class "include baseline". Sadly this whole nodes' inheritance use to dynamically override variables will break in the next version of Puppet.
