I have tried the proposed changes but unfortunately taking away the 
constructor (@Alex) didn't make a difference nor did adding the 
parentheses (@Christine). I also do have a setter method (@Franz Koch) 
and rewriting the constructor to

	public function __construct() {
		$this->setItems(new Tx_Extbase_Persistence_ObjectStorage);
	}

as I have seen in some other examples doesn't do the trick either.

The thing I wonder about is why the same code does work very well with 
similar objects (in 1:n relation for example) related to my 
'main_domain_model'.

For me it seems to be somehow caused by the user repository

class Tx_MyExt_Domain_Repository_UserRepository extends 
Tx_Extbase_Persistence_Repository {
}

Could there be a problem here because my user model extends 
'Tx_Extbase_Domain_Model_FrontendUser' shipped with extbase and mapping 
to the fe_users table?

I have already extended the fe_users table with the field

CREATE TABLE fe_users (
	tx_myext_items int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL
);

and the tx_myext_domain_model_item table contains the field

	user int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,



Again many thanks for every helpful hint and advice.

Best regards,

Stephan
