[TYPO3] Accessing backend-module class from other backend-module?

[Mathias Gisch]

Hello,

i am looking for a solution for the following problem: I am using the 
extension ttnews_feeder. I am also writing my own extension including a 
backend module, which is supposed to use function of the class 
tx_ttnewsfeeder_module1. What is the best way to use this class?
Including the ttnews_feeder/mod1/index.php file with require_once 
doesn't work, since it will output the ttnews_feeder backend module 
above / before my module. So the only way I can think of is to parse the 
  ttnews_feeder/mod1/index.php and inlcude the tx_ttnewsfeeder_moudle1 
class with eval() after extracting it.

Do you have a better idea. Extending tx_ttnewsfeeder_module1 is not an 
option.

Thanks for your help. Regards,

	Mathias
