Thanks for your reply. That's what I was afraid of.

The other extension is not my own - and it even isn't an extbase extension.

But I like your idea with the CONTENT element. I think I will 
create/prepare a TypoScript object in static TypoScript files of my 
extension, which I can use with 1 or 2 lines wherever I need to.
