No, i's not, it is correct,
see http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/scope_and_puppet.html
At the moment you 'include mysql' only the top scope package variable is
known, so there fore mysql package will be installed.
swap them around and mysql-server package will get installed.
class mysql_server {
$package = 'mysql-server'
include mysql
}
