Question

My App uses a modal view when users add a new foo. The user selects a foo type using this modal view. Depending on what type is selected, the user needs to be asked for more

Answer 1

You need to take care on which instance you invoke the presentModalViewController when you deal with several levels of modal controllers. Let's suppose you have :

[myControllerA presentModalViewController:myControllerB animated:YES];

Next time you want to display a modal controller while B has the focus, you should invoke

[myControllerB presentModalViewController:myControllerC animated:YES];

in order to get the parent controller properly set. The hierarchy of controllers is then A-> B -> C

Fixed. I got the behavior I wanted by pushing the second view controller to the first view controller's UINavigationController.

creation of 1st modal view

FooAddController *addController = [FooAddController alloc]
    initWithNibName:@"FooAddController" bundle:nil];
addController.delegate = self;
addController.foo = newFoo;
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]
    initWithRootViewController:addController];
[self presentModalViewController:navigationController animated:YES];
[addController release];

creation of 2nd modal view (in FooAddController)

FooAddSizeViewController *addSizeController = [[FooAddSizeViewController alloc]
    initWithNibName:@"FooAddSizeViewController" bundle:nil];
addSizeController.delegate = self;
addSizeController.foo = self.foo;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:addSizeController animated:YES];
[addSizeController release];

Did you try calling presentModalViewController on self.navigationControllerin both steps?
