Thanks all to who replied for taking the time to sort me out. Your
replies have and will be helpful to my understanding of what goes on.
I'll let it sink into my head a bit more in the morning (It's 3:16am
here in Sydney).
Kind regards to all,
Jason
in order for modelObject1 to talk to modelObject2, it must have
a reference to that object, similar to how myControllerObject has a
reference to both modelObject1 and modelObject2 which you use to send
messages.

Say I have myControllerObject. I alloc and init modelObject1 and also

How do I access the ivars of modelObject1 from modelObject2 and vice versa?
modelObject1 and modelObject 2 both exist somewhere in memory, so how do I
get a pointer to or make a connection between these two
Hi Clint (and I.S.)
Thanks for your replies. I understand MVC and am happy with that now
that a few thoughts have been cleared for me (thanks I.S.). OK, I now
understand that and object knows nothing about its parent. Cool. I
thought that was the case, but I wasn't convinced.
Now, I

Sorry, but I disagree. You've still got some concepts missing. :-)
Now, I understand I need a pointer to the other object, but I am failing
(in a BIG way) in understanding HOW to get it

myControllerObject has a pointer to it's children because it knows
about it because it created it.
But if

If you want modelObject1 to have an ivar that refers to modelObject2,
the typical ways to make the connection
OK, now I *think* I've got a bit idea. What I've been trying to do is
get an ivar from object1 into object2 *directly* without using the
controller as a middleman
Is it true that I have to set up properties (using Objc 2) to get and
set the ivars *via* the controller? I just did that and got

Others have had plenty of useful advice to give on the general

The answer here is: YOU DON'T. ivar stands

I usually do harp on such things, but today I didn't have the
