(nonatomic, retain) // rertain

@synthesize mobileNumber = phoneBook.mobileNumber // phoneNumber.mobileNumber

Actually, the dot operator is a shortcut and attempts to use canonical forms of getters/setters before it goes directly to the variable.

You can choose the privacy level of the data, as well.

Ohh. And imagine the possibilities if phoneBook.mobileNumber was mapped to person.mobileNumber.

Alternatively, you could define a protocol for the properties in PhoneBook that you want public and then make an - idphoneBook getter for Person. Then people could use person.phoneBook.mobileNumber = "1-555-123-4567" but still not have access to your private stuff.
