I highly doubt it, ExtJS components inherit in a different way. It does mean you can just continue using Prototype for everything else (not ExtJS related) and don't have to load an extra framework on top of Prototype if you're already using it. Extending ExtJS components is very similar to Prototype's anyway, except for the Ext instead of Class as the keyword (http://www.extjs.com/learn/Manual:Component:Extending_Ext_Components ).
