require_recipe instead of include_recipe does strange things

I've just spent a long time scratching my head, trying to understand this one. Not sure what I was thinking when I wrote cookbook2:

cookbook1::default -

template "C:/file"
execute "dostuff C:\\file" do
  only_if { resources("template[/file]").updated? }
end

cookbook2::default -

require_recipe "cookbook1"

Note that I called 'require_recipe' instead of 'include_recipe'. This was a mistake. The effect of cookbook2 doing this is that cookbook1 is run twice, and any resources protected with an only_if are bypassed. Changing cookbook2 to the following, and cookbook1 worked as expected:

include_recipe "cookbook1::default"

(I'm not sure if adding ::default makes a difference, but it makes the cookbook consistent with all of my other cookbooks)

While I realise that calling the wrong command will have strange effects, given that myself and other deveopers use several scripting lanuages everyday with subtle terminoligy differences, I doubt I am the only one above to have made this mistake. Is is possible to add any protection to stop the above happening if there is no concievable use case?
