If you have a child theme (I'll use Ian Stewart's pro/paid Thematic child theme called Power Blog, as the example) and want to customize that - what do you do? Currently we're talking about customizing themes by using Child Themes. If I wanted to make mods to Power Blog, I'd have to change the child theme directly, thus negating some of the reasons for using a Child theme - like upgradability. Do we get to a day where we need grandchildren themes? I think your code might be the start of a way to "group" the family theme files together.

I'm not sure what I'd do with it yet, but it's good to bookmark away for later. That’s a cool little snippet of code. I’m not sure what I’d do with it yet, but it’s good to bookmark away for later.
