You can't declare both classes, but you can override resources in
class over, because we can merge hash values before calling create
resource.
The example here is obviously contrived, but I assume you have a
bigger hash you want to merge. The merge function comes from stdlib:
# don't inherit base we can create the resources here instead.
class over {
$local_setting = { 'msg' => { message => 'meow'} }
$newhash = merge($local_setting, $hash)
create_resource('notify', $newhash}
}
