from the type that is calling them. This is called "autorequirement" in
cdist jargon.
EXECUTE_TYPES_IN_CREATION_ORDER is a EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE !
You can tell cdist to execute all types in the order in which they are created
in the manifest by setting require to the special value of
"CDIST_HONOR_MANIFEST_ORDER".
in the manifest by exporting EXECUTE_TYPES_IN_CREATION_ORDER with the value true.
