I'm using the 2.0 includes/amiga.lib and you can try these lines
of code (example about the parallel port).
They seem to do the job.

//-----------------------------begin------------------------------
#include <resources/misc.h>
#include <resources/cia.h>
#include <clib/misc_protos.h>
#include <pragmas/misc.h>

struct Library *MiscBase;
CPTR CIAA, CIAB;

//-------init
    if (! (MiscBase = (struct Library *) OpenResource( MISCNAME ))) goto END_ERROR;

    if (! (CIAA = OpenResource( CIAANAME ))) goto END_ERROR;
    if (AllocMiscResource( MR_PARALLELPORT, name )) goto END_ERROR;

    if (! (CIAB = OpenResource( CIABNAME ))) goto END_ERROR;
    if (AllocMiscResource( MR_PARALLELBITS, name )) goto END_ERROR;

//--------cleanup
    if (CIAB) FreeMiscResource( MR_PARALLELBITS );
    if (CIAA) FreeMiscResource( MR_PARALLELPORT );
//------------------------------end-----------------------------
