undefined method scope for nil::NilClass ??

Line 333 in nodetype.pp is a false-positive or misnomer. The offending line is actually prior to 333.

include sans::php::primary

If I change this to "sans::php" then it works, of course it misses the two resources we're using in sans::php::primary. Commenting out those resources and still using the sans::php::primary class doesn't seem to help either.

I also can't run a --trace for some reason - see bug 1119.

Looks like previously, 0.24.1 was parsing class primary inherits php as sans::php::primary inheriting sans::php, but in 0.24.2 it was trying to inherit php, which it didn't find within the class/module scope? I changed class primary inherits php to inherits sans::php and it seems to be fine now.

Leaving this open though, as the behaviour changed between versions with the same configuration.

Seems to work fine for me. This code:

class outer::middle {
    notice "middle"
    class inner inherits middle {
        notice "inner"
    }
}   

include outer::middle::inner

results in this message:

notice: Scope(Class[outer::middle]): middle
notice: Scope(Class[outer::middle::inner]): inner

If you can provide a trimmed-down code snippet that I can run and that demonstrates the problem, please do so. Your example code is too complicated for me to try to apply on my system.
