In this case, using $defVar inside test::define is completely fine because
it's defined in the scope of this defined resource type ($defVar is in the
parameter declaration section of the defined resource type, which makes it
local, in scope, to this defined resource type). Even though the class
class test::stuff::test1 is declaring a new resource of type test::define,
it's passing a value ('NEWDEFVAR') which will get set INSIDE the scope of
test::define as $defVar.
I hope that made sense and helped you; it can become a complicated issue
quickly :)
