Is it possible for the files owner to also be the controller class?

Yes. In a document-based application, for example, this will typically be the case.

If so, what's the point of muddying up the works by creating an unnecessary controller class?

You still have to specify a class for the file's owner.

Moreover you may wish to partition the controller's responsibilities between specialised controllers that deal with particular UI elements or data objects (see in particular the new NSController classes).
