This URL will be useful to read about object graph management between
multiECs:

http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/WebObjects/Reference/API5.2.3/com/webobjects/eocontrol/concepts/EOEditingContextConcepts.html#MANAGINGCHANGES

I wrote a blog post with an intro to working with multiple ECs: < http://davidleber.net/?p=322 >

Two basic rules:
        1. You cannot relate EOs in different ECs
        2. You cannot move uncommitted EOs between ECs

And, in general I've always found it safer to do:

        myEO.editingContext().saveChanges();

Rather than:

        myEC.saveChanges();

That way you are guaranteed of getting the correct EC.
