class foo {
  $bar = 'one'
}

node /foo/ {
  $bar = 'two'
  include foo
  notice("${::foo::bar}")
}

@ahpook This error only occurs when the node name happens to match the class name. In that case, it appears that:

notice("${::foo::bar}")

will resolve ::foo::bar as the $bar variable from the namespace of the node scope and not as the bar variable from the namespace of the foo class.
