Hi

Im not entirely sure on what you want to achieve, but I think you want to add a view to something that is not the appDelegate that instantiates the navigationController.

To add view to the navigationController you use:

    MYViewController *viewController = [[MYViewCOntroller alloc]
           initWithNibName:@"MYViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:YES];
[viewController release];

If you just want to add a view to another view you should use:

    MYViewController *viewController = [[MYViewCOntroller alloc]
         initWithNibName:@"MYViewController" 
         bundle:nil];
[self.view addSubView:viewController.view]

Was this what you needed? :)
