Afaik throws Zend_Acl an exception when you're trying to get allowance for a
role and/or resource that is not set. The proper flag whether you can continue
is this:

($acl->hasRole($role) && $acl->has($resource) && $acl->isAllowed($role,
$resource, $permission))

The combined check of role, resource and isAllowed gives the final true/false.

In this case you got an exception and probably saw nothing because you do not
catch this exception properly.
