So, to talk to another class I would call the function in the mediator, passing the name of the class, which will in turn call the function in the relevent class?

>>>I believe that it is "Best Practice" to invoke a mediator for this purpose. The parent object should communicate with both objects. In this case the object which triggers the event should notify the Parent object and then the parent object should take any necessary actions with it's children objects.
