Hi, Puppet doesn't run in any specific order unless you tell it to.
Look at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/ordering.html for the learning series. Basically you can use 'require' declarations to get order: file {'/tmp/thing': require => File['/tmp/that'] ... } This says, the 'thing' file needs 'that' file to be done first.
