hm, if you could include an additional method into class.pi_base what 
about this variant:

function pi_loadLL($additional_LL) {
  $this->pi_loadLL();
        
  if (!$this->additional_locallang_include[$additional_LL]) {
    $tempLOCAL_LANG = t3lib_div::readLLfile($additional_LL,$this->LLkey);
    //array_merge with new array first, so a value in locallang 
    //(or typoscript) can overwrite values from $additional_LL
    $this->LOCAL_LANG = array_merge_recursive($tempLOCAL_LANG
             ,is_array($this->LOCAL_LANG) ? $this->LOCAL_LANG : array()
             );
    if ($this->altLLkey) {
      $tempLOCAL_LANG = t3lib_div::readLLfile($basePath,$this->altLLkey);
      $this->LOCAL_LANG=array_merge_recursive($tempLOCAL_LANG
	     ,is_array($this->LOCAL_LANG) ? $this->LOCAL_LANG : array());
    }
    $this->additional_locallang_include[$additional_LL]=true;
  }	
}

as we (will) have php5 we should use more objektoriented mechanism.
we may redefine the method for a given first paramter.

a call without paramter will start the old version.
a call with a paramter the new one, which will call the original first. 
In this way you can have multiple languagefiles, as I changed the 
mechanism of marker to an array.
