Thanks, John. I think you are right that puppet should support it,
but I am pretty sure it does not. I chatted with RI, and it seems
that the classname is not "exposed", so when the puppet backend does
the lookup, it figures out the classname and sets the 'calling_class'
variable before it interprets the hierarchy. I am going to try to
hack the same thing into the yaml backend, as well as file a bug (or
+1 one) about it.
