But how does the language know that only one instance of f is contained in one instance of Bar? You could have multiple Bars pointing to the same f, or you could instantiate an f without first enclosing it in a Bar. These are just dumb objects which you could do any number of things with. If you need to enforce a specific one to one relationship between Bars and Fs you need to write code to support that. If you want Fs to know which Bar "owns" it, you need to write code to support that. I would suggest giving F a property "myBar" and giving it an initializer - (id)initWithBar:(Bar *)owner which sets the myBar property. -Noah_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
