@property (nonatomic, retain) NSArray* myArray;

Can I do ? And if yes why does this work ?

    It works because self.myArray is syntactical sugar for [self myArray], which is generated by the @synthesize keyword. So really you’re doing:

    for (id object in [self myArray])
    

    And the return value of [self myArray] implements the fast enumeration protocol so the for..in syntax can work on it.

    Does that make things clearer?
