In theory, you should be able to add Tipos helpers to your app by  
overriding _getView() in your app class:

protected function _getView()
{
     $view = parent::_getView();
     $view->addHelperClass('Tipos_View_Helper');
     return $view;
}


Then the Tipos view helpers get added to the stack and take precedence.
