FE-access-restriction can be inherited (checkbox), but then your FE-
plugin on a subpage is not rendered as the whole page is not shown/ 
rendered at all, but the page atop which has no restrictions.

If the inheritage is not activ, the subpage with your plugin is shown as 
any normal page. Also your plugin is rendered in a normal way (and has no 
information about a page atop which is protected).
