If I understand your question, it appears the concept you're missing is the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern around which Cocoa is heavily designed. The controller should be where your XML (which belongs to the model layer) is generated. The controller would conceptually have an outlet to both views (or would have an outlet to another controller, which in turn is in charge of updating one or more views.
MVC Pattern (in Cocoa) http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CocoaFundamentals/CocoaDesignPatterns/chapter_5_section_4.html If you have a master/detail interface, as Joar suggested, I'd argue (and I have recently) that both views should be handled by the same controller for convenience and clarity. When your controller generates, changes, or removes the model (your array), it should update the views it's in charge of accordingly. Hopefully that's what you're after. :-) -- I.S.
