[chef] I am not loading <cookbook::recipe> because I have already seen it.

[Jason Newblanc < >]

Hi folks,

I am a relatively new Chef user running chef solo on linux.  I'm running into 
a
problem when trying to invoke a community cookbook/recipe multiple times with
different databags.  I'm hoping to find some advice/help.

Some details:

I have a "common" role definition and its runlist contains a wrapper recipe 
(a)
which loads some data from a databag (b) and uses "include_recipe" to
load/invoke a 3rd party cookbook/recipe (c).  This all works as expected.  I
also have a role specific role definition with a runlist that contains a
different wrapper recipe (d) which, similarly, loads some data from a 
DIFFERENT
databag (e) and uses "include_recipe" to load/invoke the SAME 3rd party
cookbook/recipe (c).  What I'm finding is that the third party recipe doesn't
get invoked by "include_recipe" the second time.

When I run in debug mode, I see that my combined runlist is accurate, but 
later
down the log, I see the message, "I am not loading <cookbook::recipe> because 
I
have already seen it."  

I realize that chef converges such that recipes don't get loaded twice, but 
I'm
not sure how to reconcile that convergence with the results that I'm after.  
Is
there a way to invoke the loaded recipe a second time (with different data)? 
Is my model/understanding flawed?  Am I doing it wrong?

I did come across this old bug which describes a similar problem, but the
workaround doesn't seem to work anymore and the proper solution isn't very
clear (to a newbie).

Thanks in advance for any constructive advice.
