In your place, this is how I would arrange what you want, because I often cram configs together (huzzah legacy systems): class testmod::packages { package { 'nginx': } } class testmod::services { service { 'nginx': ensure => running, enable => true, } } class testmod::nginxtest { file { '/tmp/nginx.test': } } # you might also look into "contain" over "include"? class testmod { include ::testmod::packages include ::testmod::services Class['::testmod::packages'] ~> Class['::testmod::services'] } # this shows how a generic testmod is all normal-ish... class profile::testmod { include ::testmod } # ...but a testmod nginx tester is a bit special # obviously you could move includes/chaining around class profile::testmodnginx { include ::testmod::packages include ::testmod::services include ::testmod::nginxtest Class['::testmod::packages'] ~> Class['::testmod::services'] Class['::testmod::packages'] -> Class['::testmod::nginxtest'] Class['::testmod::nginxtest'] ~> Class['::testmod::services'] } Or you could do it in a parameterized fashion: class testmod ( $nginxtest = false ) { package { 'nginx': } # from stdlib, see puppet forge if str2bool($nginxtest) { file { '/tmp/nginx.test': ensure => present, require => Package['nginx'], notify => Service['nginx'], } } service { 'nginx': ensure => running, enable => true, } } Then in hiera: testmod::nginxtest: true And somewhere else: include testmod Or the declarative way, having a higher chance of hurting you later: class { 'testmod': nginxtest => true, } Or you could do it any way you wanted, really. (Cue zillions of different posts about the right way to do this.)
