What you wrote above looks like it ought to work. Perhaps Puppet is
handling the "::pe_compliance::agent" inconsistently. Does it work if
instead you write
class pe_compliance::agent::cronmodify inherits pe_compliance::agent {
[...]
?
If it does, then I'm sure Puppetlabs would appreciate an official bug
report. Given that Puppet accepts "inherits ::pe_compliance::agent"
in the first place, it should recognize that it refers to the same
class as "pe_compliance::agent", and therefore engage its machinery
that allows super- and subclasses to both be declared on the same
node.
