Do you really need to temporarily copy the global array?
I think TYPO3 misses a good API for BE moduls.

this works for me. fine.

as my module is not extbased this does not work for me: I have no 
controller and no action. this results in invalid controller calls.
and while my module meanwhile worked, now I only get empty divs again.
