Extending core classes (like Loader) in Application Packages? - El Forum - 11-20-2011

Is it possible to extend core classes like Loader from an application package?
I've got a package which I autoload like this:
Code:
$autoload['packages'] = array('../shared_packages');Inside my shared_packages folder I've got
/helpers
/libraries
/views
And these all work fine.
But I've also got a MY_loader.php file which, as it extends the core Loader class, belongs in a /core folder.
When I place it in the /application/core/ folder, it works as intended.
But I really need it to be in my /shared_packages folder so I can share it across applications.
However, when I place it in /shared_packages/core/MY_loader.php, it does not work: MY_loader is not being loaded, and the default Loader class is used instead.
Is it possible to extend core classes from within an application package like this?
