Here's a simple Objective-C question with, I suspect, a simple yes-or-no  
answer.

Is it possible to access directly the values of variables in other objects?

  e.g., [anotherObject whatIsTheValueOf: this_variable];
  and   [anotherObject whatIsTheValueOf: that_variable];

It would be convenient not to have to dedicate a whole method to transferring  
the value of this_variable only; i.e., without putting

   - tellTheValueOfThisVariable:(float *)dummy_variable
   {
     *dummy_variable = this_variable;
   }

into the implementation of anotherObject.

Simply including the header file of the other object doesn't seem to do the  
trick.


Thanks in advance,
