[TYPO3-ect] Integrate ajax with extensions

I am still working on cwt_community, and one of the modules of it is  
supposed to be a status bar that updates some stuff using AJAX (new  
messages).
So it will always be on a page together with the other modules of my  
extension.
Can I still do it like that?

ajaxPage = page
ajaxPage.typeNum = 99
ajaxPage.10 < plugin.tx_cwtcommunity_pi1

Would that call my main function? Sorry, I guess I don't quite get it,  
thanks for trying though!!
