This will work in FE but will not work in BE because your extension's 
main class will not be instantiated for BE (unless you use flexform in 
the same module).

What you can do is set a global variable, something like 
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['tx_yourext']['connection'], 
to connection class in the beginning of main() and unset it at the end. 
Your flexform class should check if it is set and use if set or 
instantiate a new connection if not set. Is this clear enough or sounds 
cryptic?
