Hello David, Here's one more reply; a little late, but with another way of doing it.
I use a Context called @waiting, for everything which has been delegated to someone else or for which I'm waiting for input from someone else. When a task depends on someone else, I write that person's name at the beginning of the note field, with a ? as a hashtag in front of it: ie ?Jim, ?Bob, ?Sarah, etc. So, for view 2, I use the Active Tasks filter, but I've customised it to exclude items with context "@waiting" AND which have not reached their due date. (Anything which has reached it's due date appears back on my list, so I'm prompted to chase them up). For view 3, all the items I've delegated, I filter on @waiting. If I'm talking to someone and I want to check up on everything else they've been delegated or asked for, I do a quick text filter (top of the screen on the iPhone, or on the desktop it's Alt-F1 and go into the "text" group in the filter setup) on their hashtagged name. That way, I immediately get a quick prompt list of topics I need to follow up with them. That's just another way of doing it - I have too many contacts to be able to give each of them their own Context.
