Hello Mike,
    Here the baseos file[/etc/hosts] resource get propagated to all the 
nodes because of inheritance. You again changing the same file in 
"newnode.example.com" again.
Puppet does not allow to edit the same file twice (same resource again) in 
single run.

Work around to that,
Create a new folders for each node in baseos module as per node name and 
put node specific "/etc/hosts" file in that folder.

e.g 
baseos
    node1.example.com
        - hosts
    node2.example.com
        - hosts
    node3.example.com
        - hosts
    newnode.example.com
        - hosts 


All nodes inherit basenode, Inside the class "baseos" i've declared the 
> archive host table and various other parameters
>
> [.............]
>
>     file { "/etc/hosts":
>                         ensure  => present,
>                         owner   => root,
>                         group   => root,
>                         mode    => '664',
>                        # source  => "puppet:///modules/baseos/hosts",
>
 
                           source  => 
"puppet:///modules/baseos/$hostname/hosts",

Add $hostname facter as above in source parameter.
This will add dynamic nature to source. 
Source attribute resolve to  
       - puppet:///modules/baseos/node1.example.com/hosts
       - puppet:///modules/baseos/node2.example.com/hosts
       - puppet:///modules/baseos/node3.example.com/hosts
      - puppet:///modules/baseos/newnode.example.com/hosts
depending upon the node(host) name.
 
Hope this will solve your problem.
