Please don't! Core does not support any code magic within those TCA 
files. If you still do that it may break any time.

Simple rule:
* Full new table definitions go to Configuration/TCA/{tablename}.php
* Extending existing tables is done within ext_tables.php with API calls.


Actually all this stuff (LocalConfiguration, TCA table definition, 
ext_autoload, ...) *should* be not be PHP but YAML to prohibit "code" 
and enforce "configuration" only, but we do not have such a layer ... 
Flow is way more clever in this area and secures the flow core code from 
the packages much better this way.
