sadly, this is only half true. Yes, you can specify before, requires etc. to all instances of your defined types. However, without extra code, it will do *nothing* (aside from confusing you each single time you look at it ;-) See http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html#resource-collections. """ Any metaparameters used when a defined resource is declared are also made available in the definition as variables: [...] The above is perhaps not a perfect example, as most likely we would know that subversion was always required for svn checkouts, but it illustrates how require and other metaparameters can be used in defined types. """ They won't propagate to resources inside your defined type the way requiring a class propagates the requirement to each resource inside the class. You've got to put this into code.
