If by "abstract" you mean uninstantiateable as a most-derived class, I
suppose you could try making all of the constructors protected. Then, the
class could not be instantiated directly, but a derived object could stll
construct the base subobject...
But I feel this answer is inadequate since I don't really get the gist of
what you're trying to do... Anyway, hope it helps!
