Hello Helmut, I am glad you have resolved your issue.
I have recently been travelling, and hence not responsive to this list, but I feel compelled to observe that the problem turned out to be exactly what I said in my initial response it might be: "In particular, I am inclined to guess that one or more of your manifests [...] has some top-scope declarations that are neither class nor type definitions." That response goes on to explain why having such declarations is a problem. I can also be more specific now, since it seems you may be tripping over the semantics of the 'include' statement. It is essential to understand that 'include' directs Puppet that the designated class must be included in the catalog being constructed -- NOT to interpolate any additional DSL code into the manifest file in which it appears.
