In class App2, do
User<| title == app1user |> { groups => [ "app2users" ] }
Plusignment may work even better for you
User<| title == app1user |> { groups +> [ "app2users" ] }

It's not at all clear to me what this is supposed to do. Perhaps you want to
class App3 {
include App1::with_app3_support
}
and
class App3::with_app3_support inherits App3 {
User["app1user"] { groups +> [ "app3users" ] }
}
BTW, does this manifest even work? I believe uppercasing class names
breaks puppet. (But you're probably just over-paraphrasing?)
HTH,
