So resource order is working in the following example:
class one {
notify{class_one: message = class one}
}
class two {
notify{class_two: message = class two}
}
class { two: require = Class[one] }
class { one: }
kbarber:~ ken$ puppet apply -v tmp/executeorder.pp
info: Applying configuration version '1308143980'
notice: class one
notice: /Stage[main]/One/Notify[class_one]/message: defined 'message'
as 'class one'
notice: class two
notice: /Stage[main]/Two/Notify[class_two]/message: defined 'message'
as 'class two'
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.01 seconds
Even using the chained resource example you gave:
Class[one]-Class[two]
Now ... something to be careful of ... if you change the notify's and
make then notices you get:
kbarber:~ ken$ puppet apply -v tmp/executeorder.pp
notice: Scope(Class[Two]): two
notice: Scope(Class[One]): one
info: Applying configuration version '1308144128'
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.01 seconds
kbarber:~ ken$
This is because parse order is different to resource execution order.
Perhaps this is what you are seeing? Be mindful that code parsing
occurs on the server and generally follows the normal top
down/evaluation rules that most languages follow. Resource execution
is done after catalog creation time and happens on the client - this
is where your ordering specified with requires/chained resources kicks
in. Notify is a resource - so suffers client side ordering. Notice is
a function - so suffers parse order. Does that make sense?
By 'requiring' classes - you are requiring the class and all
_resources_ inside them. This won't change parse order though :-).
Can you post some more complete examples with some snippets of your
problem so we can all analyze your problem in detail perhaps?

Sorry the typo:
My examples should read:
class { 'two': require = Class['one'] }
class {'two: require = Exec['withinclassone'] }
