[comp.lang.c++] Question about Constructor of Derived Class

I'm a novice at c++, and I have a question about constructor of
derived class.


I'd like to pass the menber of the derived class to the constructor of
the basic class. i.e.

class	another {
  public:
    another(int arg1);
}

class	base {
  public:
    base(another arg2);
}

class	derived: public base {
    another	member;
  public:
    derived(int i) : member(i), (&member)
}				 ^^^^^^^

But, "The C++ Programming Language" says that first the base class is
constructed, and next members are constructed.

So, what should I do?

Thanks advance.					T. Hasegawa @ Hitachi Ltd.
