Suppose this:
1. Sub is a subclass of Super, hence it has a <#include "Super.h">;
2. Sub defines the method sub;
3. Super defines a method whose code contains the message: [Sub sub].
How can I get Super to know about Sub's sub method? Having a <#include "Sub.h"> in Super.m causes a compiler error, while <@class Sub;> tells Super that there's a Sub class, but nothing about its methods.
Using protocols somehow? But I don't want to implement the sub method in Super, I just want to let Super know about it.

You may declare a protocol eg. SubMethodInvocating with this sub method


@protocol SubMethodInvocfting - (type) sub; @end


and then in Super's method that using reference to the Sub class specify id pointer with this protocol.



- (void) supersMethodThatCallsSudsMethod: (id<SubMethodInvocating>) objectReference
{
...
[objectReference sub];
...
}
