Does this include the recipe in the outer node context, or the new
context defined in the LWRP? I had some trouble with this WRT
MiniTest, ended up using compile time resources for everything.

If it is being included in the outer node context, this will be  fine,
and recipes won't be duplicated.. but if this is a new context for the
LWRP, there is a chance to run a recipe twice - once inside of the
lwrp run_context, and once out.. if I recall correctly, or it hasn't
been fixed.. :) Careful now!
