We use separate "ContentInit" for the sets that require
different permissions, e.g.:

    utils.ContentInit( 'WebCMS Inhalte'
                     , content_types=WebCMSClasses
                     , permission=EditHaufeContent
                     , extra_constructors=WebCMSConstructors
                     , fti=Portal.factory_type_information
                     ).initialize( context )

    utils.ContentInit( 'Member Inhalte'
                     , content_types=MemberContentClasses
                     , permission=AddPortalContent
                     , extra_constructors=MemberContentConstructors
                     , fti=Portal.factory_type_information
                     ).initialize( context )


Someone reported that there are restriction for this approach.
When I remember right (--> mailing list archives, to be sure),
then the "fti" must be identical as otherwise the last "fti" wins.
