Are you asking a specific question in the above? :)

Anyway do you know about the following...

1) In IB you can toggle the instances panel of the main nib window to
a table mode that shows connections and bindings. You toggle by
clicking the little widget that looks like lines of text near the top
of the scroller on the right side of the window.

2) If you have OmniGraffle Pro you can drop your nib on it and it will
attempt to render connection information. (you can also drop an xcode
project on it for extra fun)

3) (another way exists to show bindings and connections in bulk but I
am blanking on how to do it...)
