The order in which Puppet applies resources between which there are is no
relationships is not predictable. As Jose says, you can express
relationships between classes via the chaining arrows, just as if classes
were resources. For example,
Class['module1'] => Class['module2'] => Class['module3']
That gives you both ordering and dependency: if an earlier resource
[/class] in such a chain fails, then the later ones will not be applied.
And that's sensible, because if there is no dependency between two classes
/ resources then there should be no need for controlling their relative
order of application.

There is no way we can guess what might be causing the different results
without examining the relevant manifests.
