Is it ok to make multiple UIViewControllers inherit from each other and let only the last one have a nib file?

Question

Hey guys, I am trying to implement a UIViewController hirarchy where the top most UIView Controller implements just a few basic methods the second level view controller a few more methods (depending on which one it is) and the last one on the third level has some more customized methods and also a nib file whereas none of the UIView Controller on level one and two have nibs.

Now I was wondering whether this is a good approach. So far it seems to work just fine.

Cheers, Andy

It should work fine. Inheritance is great! If any of your views ever deviate too much, you can override methods or pull them out of the hierarchy to customize.
