Greetings.

I'm running Puppet 3.2.4 with Foreman 1.2.1. I have environments set up like so:

[eng]
  modulepath = 
/etc/puppet/environments/eng/modules:/etc/puppet/environments/common:/usr/share/puppet/modules

[jms1]
  modulepath = 
/home/jms1/puppet:/etc/puppet/environments/common:/usr/share/puppet/modules

All of the modules are normally stored under /etc/puppet/environments/common. 
I'm trying to test some changes to one of the modules. I did this by copying 
the existing module into my work directory...

$ cp -a /etc/puppet/environments/common/user /home/jms1/puppet/

... and making my changes there. Then, in Foreman I moved my test machine from 
the "eng" environment to the "jms1" environment, and when I run "puppet agent 
-t" I get the following error:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: 
Definition 'user::virtual::voalte_user' is already defined at 
/etc/puppet/environments/common/user/manifests/virtual.pp:22; cannot be 
redefined at /home/jms1/puppet/user/manifests/virtual.pp:22 on node xxx
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

To me this says that the puppet server is seeing modules called "user" in two 
different directories in the modulepath.

Is there a way to tell the puppet server that if it sees modules with the same 
name, it should only use the one listed first in the modulepath? I would like 
to avoid making the environments totally separate and having to full copy of 
one environment in order to use my test environment (although if that's the 
only way to do it, I'm not totally against doing it.)
