I am able to attach a sheet to a modal window without breaking the
modality. I just use [NSApp beginSheet...] attaching to the modal
window. When the sheet is dismissed, instead of calling
stopModalWithCode, I just do an orderOut of the sheet, and call [NSApp
endSheet:].
In my case I think the modal sheet looks better and makes more sense
than a second modal window, so I disagree that it's pointless to use
it. I think the sheet also makes it clearer to the user that the
secondary dialog WILL block access to the first modal dialog.

The point of a sheet is to be window-modal with respect to just one
window,
leaving the rest of the app non-modal. But if you have put up a modal
window, your app has already gone modal. The window already has the
user's
undivided attention, and the user cannot get away from it! So the
sheet is
pointless.
