[Typo3-dev] extending extensions

[Carlos Chiari (DE)]

Hi:

Just another idea,

The extending method could benefit from a line like this:

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS["BE"]["XCLASS"]["typo3/class.myclass.php"][ ] =
PATH_typo3conf."class.ux_myclass.php";


$TYPO3_CONF_VARS["BE"]["XCLASS"]["typo3/class.myclass.php"]['ExtendingOrder'
][] = $_EXTKEY;

The first line will always look for the the maximum of the existing integer
indices and add 1 to make the new key.
The second line will provide the developer with an array where to find the
order in which the class was extended, in case debuggin is needed.

Regards

Carlos
