In support, YES!

My view on this is that a common terminology will only come about wish a
high-level architectural description or better yet picture (similar to the
ones supplied by Jo. But of course with more separation:

jo>> This picture was shown:

        +---------+      +------------+      +----------+
   <--> | View 1  | <--> |            | <--> |  Model   |
        +---------|      | Controller |      +----------+
   <--> | View 2  | <--> |            |           A
        +---------+      +------------+           |
                         |                        V
     +------------+      |                    +-----------+
     | interfaces | <--> O                    |   store   |
     +------------+                           | interface |
                                              +-----------+

This picture might be more involved than is required.  I wanted to show that
applications especially the one we will need in the 21st century will not
only rely on a GUI or is it now to become a "graphical web interface" (GWI)?

Google, SAP, Microsoft, IBM, etc offer various API-s or WebServices to
access interface (and reuse) the same application.

I really recommend formulating a useful architectural block structure.  And
developing some nice documentation stuff that identifies where various bits
belong in the "big picture" in the header comments.

As to design and theory of m-v-c the wikipedia entry is absolutely
fantastic.
