I would strongly encourage you to never use inheritance with nodes and
only to use inheritance within a given module[1].
Instead of
node default {
include baseline
}
node app inherits default {
include appstuff
}
I would recommend
node default {}
node app {
include baseline # though, I recommend this is named 'common'
include appstuff
}
