On object creation you can just do this:

id <protocolA> protocolAObject = [[MyClass alloc] init];

Now, unless you use an explicit cast, you can't use protocolB methods.

You can also cast objects of class MyClass to either protocolA or protocolB like this:

MyClass *myClassObject = [[MyClass alloc] init];
id <protocolB> protocolBObject = (id <protocolB>) myClassObject;
