I guess I already know the answer but may be there is a good way to rewrite the class Mage_Core_Block_Abstract without to do it directly in the magento framework.

The reason you can rewrite classes in Magento is because you pass the class you’d like to load through a translation layer, translating from
core/templatetoMage_Core_Block_Template, for example.Abstract classes don’t pass through this layer as you reference them directly in the code, e.g.
class Mage_Core_Block_Template extends Mage_Core_Block_Abstract {..}.If you really need to redefine the class, then you’ll need to put it higher up the load path, like in the
app/code/localfolder. I’d reassess why you’re doing this, though, as you may be taking the wrong approach, or there may be a better way to achieve your desired outcome.
