What about changing the <form ...> tag in the beginning of your module to your
needs or even remove it (hint: $this->doc->form) but be aware ! i don't know if
it is simply possible to remove this (pherhaps it will make the closing </form>
tag even if theres no opening.

The "principle" of a BE module should be that it posts all data to itself and
processes that.

could you explain why you want to split the file which processes the data ? Rather
put some code which should get shared between FE and BE in some separate class
files.
