Yes .. mine! So I found that it's almost impossible NOT to get viewWillAppear and all the other messages in perfect order for every view every single time. As long as you call addChildViewController and didMoveToParent (either bracketing the add of the VC's view or not, depending on whether you are actually adding the subview at that time or deferring it to later as you would with say a tabviewcontroller type container) and the reverse, you get the calls. The only way I could find NOT to get them is to mess about adding and removing subviews in layoutSubviews of the custom container view controller's view. If you do that you lose messages and get messages doubled up, but nobody in their right mind would mess with the subview hierarchy in layoutSubviews right .. except me to save duplicating 4 lines of code.
Easy fix when found, stupid piece of code to have written in the first place. I smelled it when I wrote it and did it anyway, price paid, lesson learned. So I think I can say that view controller containment, at least that piece of it, works as it says on the tin and forwards messages beautifully to each of the contained controllers and views.
