Just like that ;)
But you can't inject simple types (string, integer, boolean, ...) 
because.. How should the DI container know what value to inject?

This works:

/**
  * @param Tx_YourExt_SomeClass $someObject
  */
public function __construct(Tx_YourExt_SomeClass $someObject) {
   $this->setSomeObject($someObject);
}

Don't forget to hit the "clear all caches" button in the BE in order to 
tell the DI framework to recreate the object caches.
