Override a django third-party application template through extend

I'm using third-party apps (through Pinax), and I am trying to override a template file that the third-party template extends from.

That is --

Third party app:
    templates/app/a.html
    templates/base.html

My project:
    templates/app/b.html
    templates/base.html

Where I've copied and modified base.html from the third-party app for use in my own project and both the third-party app/a.html and my own app/b.html do {% extends "base.html" %}.

The current behavior is that when app/a.html extends base.html, it's currently loading the third-party base.html, while app/b.html is loading my own base.html. The preferred behavior is for both app/a.html and app/b.html to load my base.html.

Is there a way to set priority to my own template files?
