Hi,

I had the same problem .. the follow code helped me.

/* mergeExtendingTCAs($ext_keys)
*
*  In case you wrote an extension, that extends the table "$table", then
*  the TCA information for the additional fields will be merged with the 
"$table" TCA.
*
*  @param array Extension TCA's that should be merged.
*/
function mergeExtendingTCAs($ext_keys){

	global $_EXTKEY, $TCA;
		//Merge all ext_keys
	if (is_array($ext_keys)) {
		for($i = 0; $i < sizeof($ext_keys); $i++){
			//Include the ext_table
			$_EXTKEY = $ext_keys[$i]; // added by F.Rakow
			include(t3lib_extMgm::extPath($ext_keys[$i]).'ext_tables.php');
		}
	}
}
