Connections cannot be maintained between NIB files, which is why you can't  
control-drag. There is simply nothing to resolve to at load-time.

You have to do it through the app (your own subclass) or the app's  
delegate (your own delegate), either of which needs an instance variable  
for the pieces that need to intercommunicate. Then each instance variable  
needs a method that simply returns the object's ID. For example:

@interface AppDelegate
{
	id object1;
	id object2;
}
- object1;
- object2;
@end

Then in code you say
#import AppDelegate.h
....
	[[[NXApp delegate] object1] doSomeMethod:sender];
....
