I got this working except for the controller thing you mentioned.
I would like for example that a user (ext1) will be able to create a 
new object (ext2).

I created a new controller in ext1 that extends the controller of ext2. 
In my form I post to the new controller, but nothing happens - just a 
basic redirect to index - but without any addition to the db. No error 
output as well so I am not sure where to look.

Could you point me to an example in your extension? I searched for a 
controller action, but couldn't find one.

Thanks,

Henjo
