What Ext. I wrote? An address book for FE-Users. So each user has its 
own address book with categories. (based on tt_address)
... until jet nothing else for community usage. My next goal is a 
calendar-ext. Mainly like "cal", but with xajax and some changes in 
rights-management.

? But at the time i want to get the values of the TCA, the tca.php's of 
the other extensions are not loaded and of course also not in the TCA.

For instance: mm_forum adds some columns in the fe_users table. 
Something link ICQ-Nr. and so on... This columns are NOT in 
$GLOBALS[TCA][fe_users][columns] (called in FE)

Does crud realy load each tca.php?
