Prestashop 1.6.1.15 - Overriding controller issue

Question

I have to fix a problem on an existing website. How it is now:

// controllers/front/ParentOrderController.php

class ParentOrderControllerCore extends FrontController

{...}

// controllers/front/OrderController.php

class OrderControllerCore extends ParentOrderController

{...}

// override/controllers/front/OrderController.php

class OrderControllerCore extends ParentOrderController

{...}

---

But it is not working. I tried the following changes:

// controllers/front/OrderController.php

class OrderControllerCore extends ParentOrderControllerCore

{...}

// override/controllers/front/OrderController.php

class OrderController extends OrderControllerCore

{...}

---

Still not working.

Prestashop is not taking into account the overriding files. Nothing is in cache/class_index.php after clearing/deleting.

I manually modified the file class_index.php with:

'OrderController' => 
  array (
    'path' => 'override/controllers/front/OrderController.php',
    'type' => 'class',
    'override' => false,
  ),

And it works fine. But after a cache clearing, the problem is still on. Someone can help?

You're right, the code is correct. Actually it was about the performance parameters in prestashop back office. I didn't know about the option "use cache" to enable caching of dynamic pages... my mistake sorry
