 Hi Chris, 

 Take a look at run stages

 They make it a little easier to perform some coarse ordering. 

 additionally, you can use PuppetLabs stdlib module and take advantage of 
 the anchor pattern sparingly. 
 Here's a good example of its use:

 Hope that helps!

[Puppet Users] How to make sure my common module executes before all other ones
