Circular #import Reference

Question

I have a Xcode project where I have to transfer Data from my SettingsViewController to my ViewController, the Problem is that I have to implement my SettingsViewController.h in my ViewController, because it gets pushed out of that - but to send data from the SettingsViewController to ViewController I have to implement the ViewController in SettingsViewcontroller too thats when the Program gets stuck - it's not possible having a circular #import reference, isn´t it?

Use forward declaration in all the .h files then and import the files in .m files

Check this question Objective-C: Forward Class Declaration

A forward declaration looks like this:

@class SettingsViewController;

Also make sure that both object don't have strong (retain) pointers to each other, creating what is called a "retain cycle". – Kaan Dedeoglu Nov 08 '12 at 22:22
