Yes, it's ok for the first time you have to write it.
The problem sometimes is that all these view conversions should be
changed when you make a change to the object hierarchy and insert
another object, so that the former father is now suddenly the
grandfather. Because in the way the view conversion works, this is
legal, but it might be wrong. YMMV.
