Comment:

 This is still a wontfix unfortunately. We just can't alter the loading
 order, no matter how much you want to. Adding a constant or feature flag
 isn't an option either.

 If you wish to use the parent themes classes in the child theme, you
 simply have to delay code execution until the `after_setup_theme` action,
 for example:
 {{{
 add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function() {
   include __DIR__  . '/class-child-theme-extends-parent-theme-class.php';
   $child_theme = new Child_Theme_Class();
 } );
 }}}
