Lets see if I understand, when running cfengine on mon iagr is
defined, but not the other classes. This is the way cfengine works;
pro-web1, etc. are not defined unless you're running on those hosts,
so an action that was for webservers could thus use:-

shellcommands:

        webservers::

                "/bin/dosomething"

and this would only work when run on staging-web, pro-web1, etc.

If this isn't what you meant then I don't understand, and more
explanation might help.

Sincerely,

Adrian Phillips
