I posted an article about loading custom views from a nib in my blog http://effectivemobility.blogspot.com/2011/05/using-custom-cells-in-your-uitableview.html

The key part is this method

+ (id)customViewForClass:(Class)customClass {
    NSArray *topLevelObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:NSStringFromClass(customClass) owner:nil options:nil];
    for ( id currentObject in topLevelObjects ) {
        if ( [currentObject isKindOfClass:customClass] ) {
            return currentObject;
        }
    }

    return nil;
}

This will load a view from a XIB. UINib also caches so you can stamp them out quickly.

UINib *nib = [UINib nibWithNibName:@"TestView" bundle:nil];
UIView *myView = [[nib instantiateWithOwner:self options:nil] objectAtIndex:0]];

instantiateWithOwner returns an array of the top level objects in the XIB. In the case above, there was only one view (with other objects from the library on it) so we retrieved objectAtIndex:0.

Once you have the view, you can add it to other views. For example, you can call addSubView on another view passing this:

[someView addSubView:myView];
