Re-using the same NIB on two owners

[Daniel Luis dos Santos]

Hello,

I have an application that has two windows. Each window is associated to a 
controller class. On one method of each class I load another NIB that has a 
subordinate window. That subordinate NIB has outlets and actions that should be 
associated to the loading class, so on the NIB I set the File's Owner to be of 
the class that loads it.

My problem is that I need to load the same NIB from two different classes, so 
the owner is different according to which class I load it from.
Is there another way to do it without the file's owner ? Subclassing the 
controller ?

Thanks for replying___

One way would be to declare a common superclass, of which both owner
classes are subclasses, that implements the outlets  actions that are
connected in the .xib. Each subclass can then override the actions as
needed. In IB (or Xcode 4, as the case may be), just define the
file's owner in the .xib as the parent class.
