The documentation says: In general, if there is a problem during an initialization method, you should call [self release]and return nil. Thus, no, there is no problem if multiple classes in the hierarchy participate. The only stumbling point is that this: self = [super init]; May cause 'self' to be released; if you have code that is still referring to self via some other means, it better had darned well retained it before making that call. b.bum _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
