Hi Folks!

I’ve created my own schema and i would like to extend modUser to a specialUser, that has only "composite" relationships defined in it (to my other objects).
```
<object class="specialUser" table="special_users" extends="modUser">
<composite ... />
<composite ... />
</object>
```
My question is why I cant use
```
$sUsers = $modx->getCollection('specialUser');
```
to get all the users from modUser table?

How can I connect the modUsers with my own composite-relationship?

Oh, forgot to add... I’ve read the http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Extending+modUser and I saw the

Any pre existing user, will still have modUser as the class_key and therefore will not be extended or produce user objects of type extUser unless you change it
but I dont wont to change the class_key for the user... Is there any way around it?
