Without having dug into it, I think scope applies more for variables. Resources
can be related to other resources no matter where they are.
Below you've just defined the equivalent of:
class superme {
file { '/tmp/file1':
content => "123\n",
}
file { '/tmp/file2':
content => "456\n",
require => File['/tmp/file1'],
}
}
For what it's worth, I think it's supposed to work how you've described below.
