hmm whatever, ext_tables.php did it. please have a look at the pathc. 
This is how it is supposed to work:

* in ext_tables.php (or possibly ext_localconf.php - important is only 
that it needs to get loaded on every call of backend.php) register a 
helper file
* in that helper file include the class file for the toolbar item and 
add the toolbar item to the backend using the provided API.
* in the helper file you can be sure that an instance of the backend - 
$GLOBALS['TYPO3backend'] - exists, so that you can use other API methods 
as well to add JS or CSS

P.S. everyone who already implemented additional toolbar items should 
use this method, too (Steffen and Dmitry!)
