Issue #1818 has been updated by Thomas Bellman.
You can get somewhat close to the wanted behaviour using a combination of
inline_template() and file():
inline_template(file("/files/1.erb", "/files/two.erb", "/files/iii.erb"))
Unfortunately the file() function requires the paths to be absolute, and
doesn't look up files the same way template() does.
Although, I'm not sure if file() should look in "modules/<module>/files", or in
"modules/<module>/templates", if you add file lookups in modules...

Feature #1818: Allow multiple sources for a template and only use the first
template if it exists

Hi
It would be useful to be able to specify multiple sources for a template, and
only use the first template if it exists.
Just like the syntax for 'source' where you can specify more sources for a file
with the syntax :
<pre>
file { "/my/file":
source => ["puppet://server/$hostname/file", ""puppet://server/defaultfile"]
}
</pre>
Using a template it should be possible to use the same syntax
<pre>
file { "/my/file":
source => 'content => [template("hosts/$hostname/hosts.erb"),
template("hosts/hosts.erb")]
}
</pre>
Currently puppet fails with an error of : err: Could not retrieve catalog:
Could not find template /etc/puppet/templates/hosts/<hostname>/hosts.erb at
/etc/puppet/manifests/classes/hosts.pp:9 on node <full hostname> since it only
tries to load the first template and fails when that is missing.
Best regards
