Is there a way in Cocoa, to declare a method, such that a message to the object containing that method, which does not find a method to invoke, will invoke that method instead. In other words, if I have a class with 1 method, myMethod:, and it gets a message like [myObject someOtherMethod:], is there a way that I can have myMethod: invoked instead of an error being generated?

Yes, certainly. See the Objective-C language documentation, e.g. http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Cocoa/ObjectiveC/5RunTime/Forwarding.
