Sure. I should have been more explicit about that. I got the impression from the OP that he was talking about mediating controllers (in which case I would argue that my rule of thumb is well-aligned with the principles of MVC) rather than co-ordinating controllers. > Indeed.

I think it's plain what the OP was trying to do: tie the detail in a master-detail interface to an object newly added to the collection. However, as he seems to be using some sort of custom navigation controller, I can't be sure ;) > No harm was intended on my part. Nor mine!
