ValidationError: Parameter values specified when using DynamoDB Global module

**Describe the bug**
Hi everybody,
I'm building an modular infrastructure but I'm fighting with this error:

```
failed: ValidationError: Parameter values specified for a template which does not require them.
Parameter values specified for a template which does not require them.
``` 

The stack is very simple:

_First stack:_
A VPC only stack deployed with the `microservices-vpc-cdk-dev-us-west-2` stack name.
_Second stack:_
A ECS Cluster + a Global DynamoDB Table, the ECS Cluster use exported parameters from the first stack.

The problem occurs on the second stack only if the Global DynamoDB Table is added; otherwise CDK works as expected.

**To Reproduce**

The ECS Cluster is very simple:

```typescript
export class MyResources extends cdk.Stack {
  constructor(scope: cdk.Construct, id: string, props: cdk.StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);

    // VPC
    const vpcId = cdk.Fn.importValue(`MyStack1Prefix-VpcId-cdk-dev`);
    const availabilityZones = cdk.Fn.split(',', cdk.Fn.importValue(`MyStack1Prefix-AvailabilityZones-cdk-dev`));
    const vpc = ec2.Vpc.fromVpcAttributes(this, id, {
      vpcId,
      availabilityZones,
    });

    // ECS Cluster
    const clusterName = `service1-cdk-dev`;
    const cluster = new ecs.Cluster(this, id, {
      vpc,
      clusterName,
    });
  }
```

This configuration works as expected and the entire Stack are deployed, CDK create e deploy only a CF stack: `service1-ecs-cdk-dev-us-west-2`.

By adding the DynamoDB Global Table definition under the ECS cluster I'm getting the error above:

```typescript
    // DynamoDB Table
    const tableName = `table1-cdk-dev`;
    const table = new dynamodbGlobal.GlobalTable(this, id, {
      tableName: tableName,
      regions: ['us-west-2', 'eu-west-1'],
      partitionKey: {
        name: 'primary_key',
        type: dynamodb.AttributeType.String,
      },
      billingMode: dynamodb.BillingMode.PayPerRequest,
    });
```

Now CDK has created & deployed also:
 - `service1ecscdkdevuswest2Service1TableCustomResourceBD055B07`
 - `service1ecscdkdevuswest2Service1TableService1Tableuswest2EBB183CF`
