Order of Execution |

I hope I'm not some mutant in my configuration. I'm managing about a
100 hosts with cfengine of various solaris and linux running
cfengine-2.1.10.
I have rules for ostype, services, etc... sometime the same file needs to
be modified for both ostype and service and the order of execution becomes
a factor in whether the action completes properly.
So I have a solaris dns server.
First I execute cf.dns then I execute cf.solaris
both of the cf's refer to a single file
cf.dns opens /tmp/a, and Inserts "Hello World"
cf.solaris copies /tmp/a from masterhost, and inserts "How are you today?"
What I need to end up with is a file that has
## This is my master File ##
## Copied from MasterHost ##
Hello World
How are you today?
Are there any tricks to order of execution, can I delay an action and
come back for another pass?
Theoretically would it be better to have a general cf.solaris occur before
a more specific cf.dns or vice versa? Just wondering about the pros and
cons of each.
Thanks for the help.
