DocumentController & ApplicationController: messages between them?

Hi,

I'm building a document based app (quite similar design to the RaiseMan example in Hilegass' "Cocoa for Mac OS X" ;-) )

I'm having a bit of a conceptual problem and I was wondering if the list could help.

I have a Class called AppController that is a delegate of NSApplication and does certain stuff throughout the life of the app.

I also have a class called MyDocument that controls documents (obviously!)

I have a control (an NSPopUpButton) in the Document's nib that I would like to populate from application-specific objects (not document specifc).

Normally I'd just fire-up IB and make the connections, but the two objects are in different nibs.

So my question is: How do I send a message from my document to another object that isn't in the same nib?

If I instantiate my AppController in the Document nib then surely I'd have far too many AppControllers.

Should I "find" the App controller programatically by sending a message to NSApplication?

Am I missing something blindingly obvious here? Am I fighting the system?

thanks,

Diggory Laycock
