I've been staring at this error message for the past hour.

When trying to compile the code ...

-------------------------------------
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>

@interface TWInterpreterController : NSWindowController <NSTableViewDelegate>
...
@end
--------------------------------------

the compiler issues the error:

"Cannot find protocol declaration for 'NSTableViewDelegate'"

The import of Cocoa/Cocoa.h causes the import of AppKit/NSTableView.h which 
contains the protocol definition of NSTableViewDelegate, so I fail to see 
what's happening here. Googling the error message leads to the advice that all 
circular/recursive import/include loops be avoided, but I fail to see how one 
could be happening here.

In versions of NSTableView.h before 10.6 the delegate was not defined as a 
protocol but as a category on NSObject, so if an older version of the header 
file were being imported I could understand the message.

But I'm assuming the NSTableView.h that is being imported must be the one that 
I see when I check under the header files under the Frameworks tab in the Xcode 
Groups&Files navigator. I do see the older version of NSTableView.h that define 
the delegate in a category in the directory:

/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/Headers/NSTableView.h

But I'm building with the 10.6 SDK. Is there some mechanism that might be 
causing the older NSTableView.h to nevertheless get imported? 

Thanks,
