Managing Core Data Entities with NSArrayControllers...?

Hi All,

I'm curious about managing entities in Interface Builder. Basically, I'm wondering if it is possible to manage all of your Core Data objects and relatives from a single controller. For instance, say I have a Client, Addresses, PhoneNumbers, EmailAddresses. Am I required to create an NSArrayController for each of those in the UI, or could I simply create a Client NSArrayController and access everything through it? Is there any native mapping that occurs with the objects in the managedObjectContext, or no? My data model is getting rather large, and my project is starting to look a bit cluttered with the now double-digit quantity of NSArrayControllers.


Also, where would I find information on a question of this nature? I've looked high and low, and while I could easily assume that this is not possible, it isn't specifically stated anywhere. (Granted, I can't expect every framework to spend time telling me what it *can't* do -- still I like to, within reason, discover the full extent of things)


Thanks!
