I recommend this way.

Gimmefive was my first experiment to back-port some features of FLOW3. 
It includes mainly the Dependency Injection (only constructor) and the 
Component Manager (which is now called Object Manager). The extension 
works (see mailformplusplus for an example), but is a little bit 
outdated and becomes obsolete at time v4.3 including ext_base and fluid 
is shipped.

I think this addresses my second attempt connection v4 and v5. The 
extension is called the bridge (on forge) and uses FLOW3 to render v4 
extension content. I don't recommend to use this extension. I is too 
experimental.
