I think what you want is to set the Entity on the NSTreeController to be the
Alpha entity, not Delta.
The predicate 'parent == nil' will only give you back Delta objects where
parent == nil. From what you've said, this will never be true as the Alpha
objects are your top level objects.

After research and reflection I decided to remove some
troublesome inverse relationships from the Core Data model in my

embodied in the removed relationships.

id m_view
at some point m_view gets set to a particular view
I would like to send messages to m_view as [m_view selector] but since
it is not typed I get the message
