I'm not sure if this is a bug or I'm going the wrong way about doing this. I've added a third party lib to my app vendor directory and after looking at how the core imports vendor libs using import function

import('phpquickprofiler/phpquickprofiler', 'vendor');

I tried the same from a class within the app but got the following error: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in COREPATH/base.php @ line 25 After looking at the function

if ( ! function_exists('import'))
{
 function import($path, $folder = 'classes')
 {
  $path = str_replace('/', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $path);
  require_once COREPATH.$folder.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$path.'.php';

  if (is_file(APPPATH.$folder.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$path.'.php'))
  {
   require_once APPPATH.$folder.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$path.'.php';
  }
 }
}

I can see why it was failing, shouldn't the function be

if ( ! function_exists('import'))
{
 function import($path, $folder = 'classes')
 {
  $path = str_replace('/', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $path);
  
  if (is_file(COREPATH.$folder.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$path.'.php'))
  {
   require_once COREPATH.$folder.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$path.'.php';
  }
                elseif (is_file(APPPATH.$folder.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$path.'.php'))
  {
   require_once APPPATH.$folder.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$path.'.php';
  }
 }
}

or am I going about importing third party vendor libs the wrong way? Thanks for any advice
