It can be set as global variable. But what I need is something, which is 
stored in $GLOBALS array.
The class, which I have XCLASSed doesn't handle other HTML-rendering
than making some specific issues, which don't relate in any
way TS templates. If the TS Config for the root page is stored
in the $GLOBALS array, it can be used for contolling if the value 
concerns the whole site structure (and not only the root page).

*This* could be reasonable to the core files too because it could solve 
content wizard problem. If there could be a reasonable solution, this is 
even worth of a bug report with a patch proposal.

settings, which I have added works only in TS Config for users/user groups

certainly - it is for many users *too* easy to move around content 
elements because it give feeling "This is cool, this must be tested"

But in the other hadn it it is good if editors uses short content 
elements, which they can reorder easily afterward.
AJAX be_dragndrop is an enable option in tm_contentaccess.
