Like Daniel wrote, you should be able to use multiple contexts by  
setting up BXSynchronizedArrayController's databaseContext binding.  
However, see this thread if you use garbage collection: http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2009/2/24/230923

If the database context has also been set to connect on -awakeFromNib,  
it might connect before the other nib has been loaded. Currently  
BXSynchronizedArrayController only observes connection notifications,  
so you might need to either connect or fetch manually.

We could make the array controller check on -awakeFromNib whether its  
context is already connected, though.
