That was essentially my point. I think you are trying to use them in a
way that doesn't give you much benefit and possibly ignoring another
way that may be more aligned to what you want. Step back from the
plugins... consider creating xib 1, xib 2, and xib 3 that together get
what you want at runtime. This could be shared across projects. As you
modify the nib all project feel the effects since xib is what you use
at runtime while the plugin is essentially a template/tool extension
used when modifying xibs.

Anyway it is hard to fully grasp/express all of the nuances of what
you are doing, what you want to do, and what I am trying say in
email... so I am just trying to point out a different way to think
about it and see if helps you get closer to what you want.

Also do you know that you can drag a set of objects into a xib,
configure them, wire them up, etc. and then drag a parent (assuming
view containment, etc.) back into the object library. This then become
a template that you can use in future.
