also, would you recommend moving the null check for "tableGroups" in GenericTableViewController to a custom getter, and have that method create the table groups on demand? i ask because i am myself learning about good object oriented design, and want to know if this is a good idea.

then, for example, you could have in your tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: method only the return call, using "self.tableGroups" instead of "tableGroups".

Thanks for this. The one issue I've hit is that since CellController is a protocol, the controller object is not properly part of the controller hierarchy. This hit me when I wanted to access navigationController from the cell to move to another page.

The solution that comes to mind is modifying the protocol method signatures to pass the parent controller back in place of the tableView. (Since you can always pull the tableView out of the controller.) But I'm curious what others think.
