http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/style_guide.html#resource-defaults
has a few words on this. As it turns out, the defaults follow dynamic
scope.
The end result will be that if a file {} resource is defined in class
foo:bar you'll get the defaults from foo:bar, and if a file {} resource
is declared outside of class foo:bar you'll get the defaults from the
top level.
It gets really complicated if you set resource defaults in a class, then
include another class from in that one; so don't do that.
