Thanks for the explanation. It turns out that I already use my stuff
the very same way, only without understanding the significance.
Two related question though:
a. Does order matter? Like:
file{"/foo/bar": content => "hello world"}
file{"/foo": ensure => directory}
b. Can it be uses the same way across the modules? Like, specifying
"file{"/foo": ensure => directory}" in module-A and "file{"/foo/bar":
content => "hello world"}" in module-B?
Thanks again, in advance. cheers!!
