Import an .m file

I have 2 files, somefile.h and somefile.m. I would like to combine them both into a single .m file (Long story as to why.) But, my AppController uses the somefile for a few of its calls. So, in the top of my AppController, I have an #import "somefile.h". Obviously that .h file is going to be deleted when I combine these files. So, could I just use #import "somefile.m" and still have everything work?

Thank you!

I just made a test and it looks like this is possible.

I was able to import the following .m file and use it. But I had to remove it from the Compile Sources list first:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface MyClass : NSObject

+ (void)staticMethod;
- (void)instanceMethod;

@end


@implementation MyClass

+ (void)staticMethod
{

}
- (void)instanceMethod
{

}

@end

However, this is still a bad practice that you should avoid.

Not really, Objective-C works like C or C++, you can only import header files, not implementation files.
