   Is it possible to override a parent theme's files? I need to override the parent theme's functions.php and then call it afterwards (I can handle the second part myself).

   Is there any way to do this while still using a parent theme or should I just create the templates and have them call the parent theme's files myself?

   might need more explanation.

   you want to disable a function and then reenable it?

   As you can see on The codex, adding a Template section to the comment header loads all the files except the style.css from the parent theme (which is specified by the Template section).

   I'm wondering if I can override the parent theme's functions.php from my theme (I'm willing to contribute a core patch if needed).
