yes I know this.

well this is my problem, I need to figure out how to keep this specific framework from overwriting my extended path with the framework's default path. The weird part is I'm specifying the extended path (2 additional subdirectories) immediately after the point in which the framework seems to set the default path, yet it keeps getting overwritten - or rather, set back to default and I can't seem to nail down where in order to get around it.
