test3 ?

I think it does: each class can have its own defaults. (which is my
desired behave).
My fear was that declaring File description in test1 could
change/overwrite general File description. In other words,
only one default possible.

ok. le me use site#.pp for future references:
My tree:
~puppet/manifests/site1.pp
/services/
/SERA/site2.pp
/modules2
/SERB/site3.pp
/modules3
-site1.pp defines some defaults and includes services/SERA/site2.pp and
service/SERB/site3.pp
-site2.pp defines its own defaults for modules2
-site3.pp defines its own defaults for modules3
are defaults respected? If site1 defines mode 777, site2 defines mode
750 and site3 mode 644, what is the default?
*My tests show that a file in module2 has perms 750, one in module3 has
perms 644, which is desired. but we're seeing some rare situacion where
some files have rare perms, and we're wondering if this schema is
producing problems or not.
Many thanks for your reply,
