{ Multi-posted to clc++. -mod }

I am into c++ code maintenance for last 3-4 years but recently I am
put into design phase of a new project. Being a small comapany I dont
have enough guidance from seniors.

Currently I am into a situation where I am implementing base class
functions by including a pointer to subclass member in base class.

Reason being functionality is common for subclasses but the members
are common within subclass only (static member of subclass) but vary
across different subclasses.

I am confused is it a godd design decision or there is another
alternative to this. If anybody can provide me details of situations
where baseclass accesses derived class members I would be better able
to justify myself.

Can anybody refer me a good step by step design guide for C++
programming.

Any help in this regard will be greatky appreciated.

Thanks
Bhawna
