Multiple views and multiple tabs .. $ionicTabsDelegate is which?

ionic-v1
1

For a tablet view I use the MultipleViewsManager.

I have 2 views which have both have tabs on them.

if I use the $ionicTabsDelegate to do something with a tab on a perticular controller on one of those views I get multiple
instances inside $ionicTabsDelegate. which instance is which tab ?

for instance if I do $ionicTabsDelegeate.select(0) I see both tabs updated.
