Thx, maybe this was a little too straight from the hip... BTW: I've tried
it - it even worked... but I see that's probably caused by a lot of strange
luck...

Interesting objection - that's actually what I meant saying "override".
Let's try something else: There's a module "module_x" and these
directories: $moduledir/module_x/manifests/ and there's an "init.pp" with
this content:
class module_x {
include module_x::child
include module_x::another_child
include module_x::another_child2
include module_x::another_child3
...
}
There's also a file 'constant.pp' containing this
class module_x::constant {
$var = 'value'
}
Class module_x::constant is not included. Classes like module_x::child
should be able to inherit the default value of $var but also be able to
hide it within their own scope by declaring a same-named local variable. It
would look like this:
class module_x::child inherits module_x::constant {
// wants to use a default value for $var but should be able to hide it
within their own scope.
}
Something wrong with that?
