Matthew, thank you for your comment and explanation.
I removed the My_Acl class and used directly $acl = new Zend_Acl.... And then moved everything to the plugin using custom methods for getting/setting resources. And then in plugin-native methods, I created the rules and check if user is allowed or not. That works fine now. I can paste the code in pastie if anybody would like to see or comment on it..
