You don't even need that for the OP's original case. Instead of grouping
nodes and then trying to separate them out again, it would make more sense
to avoid grouping them in the first place:
node 'node1.com' {
include 'solaris'
}
node 'node2.com' {
include 'redhat'
}
node 'node3.com' {
include 'aix'
}
# Note: the default case in the OP's pseudocode
# would never have applied, but I infer that something
# like this was desired:
node default {
include 'generic'
}
On the other hand, in direct answer to the OP's question, nodes.pp is a
Puppet manifest just like any other, so you can access node facts there.
Facts are not dependent on node blocks (and indeed, node blocks are
optional). You can access nodes' hostnames via the $::hostname fact.
