Decomposing an interface into separate nibs

I'm a newbie to cocoa development and this is my first post to this list, so
please bear with me! :)


What I want to do is be able to decompose a particular interface into
several nibs. Sometimes this feels right to me because I feel that one
component on the interface can be reused separately. In fact, it might
represent one unit of functionality that I might like to test separately.


I'll use the Master-Detail example from [1] as a running example.
What I would like to do is workout how to put the "Detail" part of the
interface in a separate nib. I think this would be good because
it would give the flexibility to move this part of the interface to a sheet
if required.


I've thought about subclassing NSView and loading the nib on
initialization however I would still need instantiate another NSView
inside so I could layout the components using the interface builder.
This seems a bit ugly to me and makes me think im not doing the right thing.


Can anybody advise me on whether this is a sensible way to go
about this?

Thanks,

Frank
