From "Managing Nib Objects in iOS", in the Legacy Patterns section of
the Nib Files chapter of the Resource Programming Guide
<http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/LoadingResources/CocoaNibs/CocoaNibs.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000051i-CH4-SW19>:
"""As it rebuilds the object hierarchy, UIKit reestablishes connections
between the objects using setValue:forKey:, which uses the available
setter method or retains the object by default if no setter method is
available. This means that (assuming you follow the pattern shown above)
any object for which you have an outlet remains valid."""
For this reason, that document recommends you use a weak declared
property for outlets to non-top-level objects. You should probably
follow that recommendation.
