I think that probably the correct way to do this is for the broker to export some object via something like getBlah() which exposes the managment interface used by the acl plugin. I think it's a better architecture for a plugin to request it's target for more or less all things it needs to plug into. I'm not sure if the generated header are set up to make this possible or not so I can't say if this is actually feasible in the short term though.
