Just to add…

If you do use properties with the @property directive you can specify the declaration attributes. In this case you could use:

@property (retain) UIView *containerView

This will tell the compiler to use retain the value passed in when synthesizing the accessors. The default is assign, which implements accessors which assign (using =) the values passed. This makes it easier to know when you can release objects passed into accessors.
