I've been using that syntax in 3.8 for a long time:
contain ::soge::install
contain ::soge::configure

Class ['::soge::install'] ->

Class ['::soge::service']

I remeber start using it when the contain function was released...
( fun fact: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/puppet-users/T1cIUuKBU0E
isn't this you using "Class"? or am I missing something?
