 cdist jargon.
 
+CREATE DEPENDENCIES FROM EXECUTION ORDER
+-----------------------------------------
+You can tell cdist to execute all types in the order in which they are created 
+in the manifest by setting up the variable CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY.
+When cdist sees that this variable is setup, the current created object
+automatically depends on the previously created object.
+
+It essentially helps you to build up blocks of code that build upon each other
+(like first creating the directory xyz than the file below the directory).
+
+THIS IS A BETA FEATURE AND MAY BE REMOVED OR CHANGED AT ANY TIME.
+
+
+OVERRIDES
+---------
+In some special cases, you would like to create an already defined object 
+with different parameters. In normal situations this leads to an error in cdist.
+If you whish, you can setup the environment variable CDIST_OVERRIDE
+(any value or even empty is ok) to tell cdist, that this object override is 
+wanted and should be accepted.
+ATTENTION: Only use this feature if you are 100% sure in which order 
+cdist encounter the affected objects, otherwhise this results 
+into an undefined situation.
