Assume the same code block as before:
```ruby
class { 'nginx':
gzip => false,
class { 'nginx' :
manage_repo => false,
confd_purge => true,
vhost_purge => true,
}
```
Should become...
```ruby
include nginx
class { 'nginx::config':
gzip => false,
Anchor['nginx::begin']
->
class { 'nginx::config' :
confd_purge => true,
vhost_purge => true,
}
class { 'nginx' :
manage_repo => false,
}
```
The order in which this commands are parsed is important, since nginx looks for nginx::config via a defined(nginx::config) statement, which as of puppet 3.x is still parse-order dependent.

Well, the fact of the matter, the old Package/Config/Service pattern has served us well, but times are a-changin. Many users are starting to manage their packages and service seperately outside of the traditional pattern (Docker, anyone?). This means that in order to stay true to the goals of Configuration Management, it is becoming necessary to make less assumptions about how an organizations graph is composed, and allow the end-user additional flexibility. This is requring a re-think about how to best consume this module.
