Your example is pretty close. I don't see an obvious reason for it to
fail.
I think you may into two issues in general. Nodes with both
'webserver' & 'mailserver' would export duplicate Host resources. That
gets solved if you move the @@host to a third class and pass
variables, but now you're compile order dependent. Setting
puppetvariables (in manifest) or detecting based on class seems
difficult/unreliable. The best solution for you may be a fact or
variable on your nodes describing which "group" they're part of.
node web {
$group = ["web"]
include webserver
include host::collect
}
node webmail {
$group = ["web", "mail"]
include webserver
include mailserver
include host::collect
}
class webserver { include host::export }
class mailserver { include host::export }
class host::export { @@host{ "$fqdn": ip => $ipaddress, host_aliases
=> $hostname, tag => $group } }
class host::collect { Host <<| tags == $group |>> }

There's no need for the 'file { "/etc/hosts": }' resource. The Host
Type should take care of that. For example 'hosts' may be stored in a
different location or format.
I do it a bit differently. Only nodes with "important" classes export
their entries. All nodes will collect all relevant entries. This
should work as an example.
node dns1 {
$location = ["chicago"]
include dns
include host::collect
}
node ldap1 {
$location = ["chicago"]
include ldap
include host::collect
}
node admin1 {
$location = ["austin"]
include dns
include ldap
include host::collect
}
node db1 {
$location = ["austin"]
include host::collect
}
node db2 {
$location = ["chicago"]
include host::collect
}
class dns { include host::export }
class ldap { include host::export }
class host::export { @@host{ "$fqdn": ip => $ipaddress, host_aliases
=> $hostname, tag => $location } }
class host::collect { Host <<| tags == $location |>> }
