+1 after testing.

I tested with the felogin extension (CType) and the inclusion mentioned by 
Ingmar:
$TCA['tt_content']['columns']['pi_flexform']['config']['ds']['*,login'] = 
'FILE:EXT:'.$_EXTKEY.'/flexform.xml';

works perfect ;-)

I tried it witt a normal extension added to list, the syntax is slightly 
different as you don't have to use the tx_
so i did with newloginbox and got it with

$TCA['tt_content']['columns']['pi_flexform']['config']['ds']['newloginbox_pi1,list'] 
= 'FILE:EXT:newloginbox/flexform_ds.xml';
or
$TCA['tt_content']['columns']['pi_flexform']['config']['ds']['newloginbox_pi1] 
= 'FILE:EXT:newloginbox/flexform_ds.xml';

works perfect.
But why should i use list as second parameter is optional, is there any 
other possibility?

I don't think that more than 2 parameters needed.
