Why would you do this? You're making one object responsible for the internals of another object. This is a bad idea. It breaks the individual encapsulation of each object.
One of the cardinal points of good object-oriented design is that an object's responsibilities are circumscribed. It should manage itself and the things it directly references, nothing else. For any objects it DOES reference, each of those objects also has its own responsibilities, and so on recursively. Objects shouldn't poke their noses into another object's business.
If you want to do something that doesn't break encapsulation, then you should simply release the one ivar connection. That will let the receiving object perform its own actions, by itself, on its own behalf, as appropriate to its own affairs.
