Override TYPO3 templates

I have a TYPO3 website that is built on a sitepackage that extends bootstrap_package. I need to add more templates and design changes to the sitepackage, so I created a new extension. When I want to override the templates from sitepackage with the templates from my new extension, they all get overridden, and I get errors on the pages that used templates from the sitepackage. Is there a way to load all templates, from the initial bootstrap_package, my sitepackage, and the new extension?

This is from the constants.txt of the sitepackage (example_theme), where it extends bootstrap_package:
constants.txt of the sitepackage example_theme , constants.txt of the sitepackage example_theme

and this is how I am trying to override it with my new extension: constants.typoscript of my new extension constants.typoscript of my new extension and setup.txt of the sitepackage example_theme setup.txt of the sitepackage example_theme

If I do this, then in the backend I can see that example_theme is not loaded:
backend setup backend setup

The pages that used templates from the sitepackage example_theme give me this error:
error on pages that use templates from example_theme error on pages that use templates from example_theme

Either you have the wrong loading order of the extensions, or there is an extension not loaded.

Especially if you use only constants to define the paths you will miss a definition as only one constant (per path) is inserted.

In your case you should not use constants in your extension new_extension but set the value 2 in the setup immediately.

page {
  10 {
    TemplateRootPaths.2 = EXT:new_extension\Resources\Private\Templates\Page\
    PartialRootPaths.2 = EXT:new_extension\Resources\Private\Partials\Page\
    LayoutRootPaths.2 = EXT:new_extension\Resources\Private\Layouts\Page\
  }
}

in this way you should end up with 3 values for each path.
(example just for templates:)

:
[templateRootPaths]
   [0] = EXT:bootstrap_package\Resources\Private\Templates\Page\
   [1] = EXT:example_theme\Resources\Private\Templates\Page\
   [2] = EXT:new_extension\Resources\Private\Templates\Page\
