Suppose this:

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];
...
}
