4,024 PointsImport Modal of header file in View Controller Header File
You touch on this at 1:58. I just wanted to understand more of the reason for this theory...
Daniel Popov
4,024 PointsI understand why one would generally import header files. In the video called "Updating Data" at around 2 min. You say that "You shouldn't import model header files in the view controller header files." I just wanted to understand a little more about this theory. I'm assuming it has to do with proper MVC structure I just wanted some clarification.
Thanks!

Treehouse Guest TeacherIt's about a matter of scope – when A imports B, and B imports C, then A effectively imports C. We want to avoid that whenever possible.

Treehouse Guest TeacherCan you clarify a little bit? You mean import the file in the header file? Usually it's to gain access to protocols defined in headers.
