Are these special commands so special, that the TYPO3_DB object could
not handle this problem? ;) For security reasons, I'd suggest to have
the parameters checked before pushing them to the DBMS.

According to your problem:
Have you tried $GLOBAL['typo_db_username']? Since the
$GLOBAL['TYPO3_DB'] objects exists, the localconf.php must have been
loaded before.

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB'] has a 'link' variable: $GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB']->link
You can use this for your special commands like this:
$res = mysql_query($yourQueryString, $GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB']->link);
