ok so i have an object. lets say its called TestObject.
in TestObject's constructor, one of its attributes is another TestObject.

so lets say i do this after i have already made the TestObject class, constructer, getter setter methods, ect.


Code: 
TestObject *testObject1 = [[TestObject alloc]initWithTestObject:testObject2];
TestObject *testObject2 = [[TestObject alloc]initWithTestObject:testObject1];

it complies correctly but when i try to access testObject1.testObject, it comes back as null, is this because of how i am accessing the object?
 
Can you show us the constructor? It sounds like you are recursing?

Well obviously testObject1.testObject is null. When you pass it into the constructor of testObject1, it doesn't exist!

You're not showing all of the code involved though because I can't see how the above code could possibly exist unless you've already declared testObject2 somewhere else.
 
o crap wait i did my constructer in my class wrong.

^^ ya i see what your saying i quicky wrote that but i had it right in my program. i screwed up the constructed my bad
