Comment (by valendesigns):

 You want to be able to alter the path so it looks for files outside of the
 themes root directory?

 The issue wouldn't be solely with `get_template_part()` then, it would be
 with `locate_template()` too, as that is the function that does the file
 locating using either `STYLESHEETPATH` or `TEMPLATEPATH`.

 An option to fix this issue would be to add a  boolean`$force_path`
 variable to both function that allows for alternative paths outside of the
 root of a theme when set to true. Basically, it uses the explicit path
 supplied from the `get_template_part()` to find the file and bypass the
 global theme paths.

 Why do you need to get files outside of the theme? This sounds like plugin
 territory to me.
