[TYPO3-mvc] backend flexform is overwritten while extending fe_users

I'm not sure if i understand exactly what you mean, but could it be 
caused by the "types"-section in tca? for the extended fe-user 
extension_builder creates a new type, and this type just gets the 
additional field from the extended fe-user assigned, but not the 
standard fields (like name, password, etc.) as in type[0].

$TCA['fe_users']['types']['Tx_YourModel_User']['showitem'] = 
$TCA['fe_users']['types']['1']['showitem'];

Per default above there is the *new* type-array (types[1]) assigned. 
I've recently changed this to...

$TCA['fe_users']['types']['Tx_YourModel_User']['showitem'] = 
$TCA['fe_users']['types']['0']['showitem'];

...and after this the other items are added:

$TCA['fe_users']['types']['Tx_YourModel_User']['showitem'] .= ...

Now i've got all standard-tabs for a fe_user in BE, plus the additional 
tabs for the extended model.
