I want to rewrite core/adminthtml/block/widget/tabs.php class which is a super class for core/adminhtml/block/sales/order/view/tabs.php class.

Here is config code for both scenarios:

 <blocks>  
  <adminhtml>  
     <rewrite>
       <sales_order_view_tabs>Jimmy_SalesAffil_Block_Widget_Tabs</sales_order_view_tabs>  
       <widget_tabs>Jimmy_SalesAffil_Block_Widget_Tabs</widget_tabs>  
        .....
     </rewrite>  
  </adminhtml>  
 </blocks> 

While I am able to rewrite ...view/tabs.php, I am not able to rewrite the super class. Why? Is it possible? How?
