Custom resource name as variable

In chef you can call a recipe by using string variables like

cookbook='my_cookbook' %w[ recipe1 recipe2 recipe3 ].each do |recipe| include_recipe "#{cookbook}::#{recipe}" end

Is it possible to do a similar thing to execute different custom resources?

I probably wouldn't actually use a loop for this but:

%w{one two three}.each do |res|
  declare_resource(:"mycookbook_#{res}", "nameofresource") do
     # Normal resource body block goes here.
  end
end

If you can be more specific about the use case, I can try to give you a better example of what to actually use instead.
