Please have a look at Ernesto's answer and take a look at the TS 
documentation (not reference).
http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptSyntaxReference/AppendixA/Index.html

TS is just a PHP array. Nothing is parsed or interpreted in any way.

This TS array is then passed to various functions. In frontend, this is the 
tslib from the CMS extension, then main frontend rendered. In essence, it 
just looks over the sorted array and passes it to various functions 
(stdwrap) or invokes objects and finally merges the results.

Unfortunately, this code is not very well structured, which makes it pretty 
hard to call it from outside the frontend rendering process. Usually you 
have to fake various aspects of the frontend rendering process to make it 
work.

You should see TS as a plain settings array (from an PHP point of view). 
What you do with those settings is up to you.


Just a note, in general you do not want to use frontend objects from the 
backend, because they just envelope API calls. Call the APIs directly 
instead.

Best regards
