COREPATH not used for core-classes

[eluser]DIY_Peter[/eluser]
I definded an alternative corepath in index.php

Code:

// Path to the core folder
define('COREPATH','/www/html/apps/include/ci/');

I've been using this for a while without problems. I have a MY_CI_model class in that location that extends the standard CI_model and that works fine.

Now I wanted to extend the URI class.

So I created a file called MY_URI.php with code:

Code:

class MY_URI extends CI_URI
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        //just to check if this file is used
        echo "ok";die;
    }
}

The code in the constructor is not run.

When I put this file in de core directory of my application it works.

Shouldnt CI look for that file in COREPATH/core ?
