yes, our method does not constrain the left of the relationship only the right - ie. classes before the wrapper class but at any time before the wrapper class if you then insert another class before the wrapper you dont have a guarantee where in the graph it gets inserted. In this specific case you could just swap the chain around putting the classes after the wrapper Class["wrapper"] -> Class["three"] -> Class["two"] -> Class["one"] or whatever. The difference between the two is: for the anchor pattern as per Jeff: <before anchor> classes <after anchor> the simpler one: classes <wrapper as anchor> or <wrapper as anchor> classes its less strict and I prefer this because if you're overdoing the require hints you're just really turning puppet into a bash script -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
