I spent some much time on this, trying all the different ways of
including those helpers (ie not related to controllers), without any
success (sometimes it worked in dev env but not in prod, ...etc).
So I came up with another approach.
Actually, my engine controllers inherit from a base controller. So
inside this base one, I added the following lines:
Dir[File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../../helpers/**/*_helper.rb"].each do
|file|
helper "admin/#{File.basename(file, '.rb').gsub(/_helper$/, '')}"
end
Even if it is not super clean, it does the trick for me. If anyone has a
better way of doing it, let me know :-)

Take a look at my generator:
