Although the docs say it defaults to TRUE, it doesn’t work like that in 
practice.

On some random Mac programming page, I saw code explicitly setting cascading to 
TRUE. I looked at that and wondered if I can do better. Since the setting looks 
like a property, I added “shouldCascadeWindows” to the User-Defined Runtime 
Attributes section of the window controller’s settings in Interface Builder. I 
set the attribute to Boolean and its value to TRUE, and sure enough it worked!
