UIViewController with Nib file and overlay

Question

I'm trying to do something really complicated, and I'm still looping. I am trying an instance UIViewControllerwith a Nib file inherited from another UIViewControllerwith a different Nib file.
The problem is that I create my son UIViewController.

// SonViewController
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil 
                bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
    if ((self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil 
                                bundle:nibBundleOrNil])) {
        // Custom initialization.
    }
    return self;
}

The init method initWithNibName:bundle:should call super class, but it only calls its own nib file. In the superclass, I tried to override the method initWithNibName:bundle:and put the name nibName myself:

// MotherViewController
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil 
               bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
    if ((self = [super initWithNibName:@"MotherViewController" 
                                bundle:nibBundleOrNil])) {
        // Custom initialization.
    }
    return self;
}

It only initializes and displays Mother Classits IB object. I understand why, but I'm starting to think that it's impossible to do what I want. Any suggestion?

Edit:
I would use my SonViewController like this:

SonViewController *son = [[SonViewController alloc] 
                      initWithNibName:@"SonViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];

[self.navigationController pushViewController:son animated:YES];
[son release];

It should display the son and mother of IB Object ...

, nib init, initWithNibName: bundle:, .

@implementation MotherViewController
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
    if((self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil])) {
        //custom initialization
    }
    return self;
}
- (id)init {
    return [self initWithNibName:@"MotherViewController" bundle:nil];
}

, nib MotherViewController, [[MotherViewController alloc] init];.

MotherViewController .

@implementation MotherViewController
- (id)_initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
    if((self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil])) {
        //custom initialization
    }
    return self;
}
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
    return [self _initWithNibName:@"MotherViewController" bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
}

, SonViewController .

//SonViewController.m
@interface MotherViewController (PrivateInit)
- (id)_initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil;
@end
@implementation SonViewController
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
    if((self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil])) {
        //custom initialization
    }
    return self;
}
