I think, there should be an option in ext_emconf.php, to let each plugin 
decide, if it wants to have ext_typoscript_setup.txt included before or 
after static templates.

It could break existing plugins, if ext_typoscript_setup.txt is include 
before static templates, if this is not provided by the plugin.

E.g.: some of my plugins set a special constant  in their static 
templates. If none of these static templates is loaded (special constant 
is not set) then I include some default-template in 
ext_typoscript_setup.txt by TS conditions.
It the order is now inverted (because it can be set only globally),
this would give some unwanted side-effects.


Maybe there are other ways to inlcude TS before static templates
(maybe TS in a special FIle ext_ts_default_setup.txt), but
I think this should be defined somehow in the plugin.

What do you think ?
