I don't quite follow what you're trying to do there. Your module's name is
"adhoc" (it *cannot* be "adhoc::pkg::dan" because the colon (:) is not
among the characters allowed in module or class names). With that being
the case, the subdirectories of the module layout belong under adhoc/, not
deeper in the tree. In particular, a class named adhoc::pkg::dan::init belongs
in file adhoc/manifests/pkg/dan/init.pp. I'm not a fan of such a deep
naming structure, but that would work.
Note also that class names of the form <module name>::init are reserved,
but if you *do* have a deeper tree then you can have classes whose last
name segment is "init" at deeper levels.

No. If /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/adhoc/pkg were in your modulepath
then you could put the main class of module "dan" in the file you name, i.e.
class dan {
}
That's the only way it works with your placement of the "manifests"
directory, but DON'T DO THAT. Setting up a modulepath in containing pairs
of directories where one is nested inside the other is confusing and
unnecessary, not to mention that it triggers bugs in some versions of
Puppet.

If you want a class named adhoc::pkg::dan then it belongs in a file named
adhoc/manifests/pkg/dan.pp, relative to some folder in your modulepath.
The init.pp filename is special only for a module main class, and therefore
only at the top level of the module.
