[wp-hackers] Non-existent path or document defaults to parent theme 404 template

[Chip Bennett]

Always include template-part files using get_template_part() - primarily,
for the reason you indicate (it will search first in the Child Theme, and
then in the Parent Theme).

Note: the Parent Theme should be including template-part files in the same
way.
