Apart from the class cluster answer you already got, the public headers don't need to include any instance variables even if they exist in reality.

Only if the class cannot be subclassed.

In the 32-bit runtime, instance variable offsets are determined at compile time based on the total size of superclass data, so if the compiler doesn't know all of the superclass instance variables, it'll generate incorrect code. (The 64-bit runtime doesn't have this limitation.)
