I think you may not want to inherit from Boost classes; they are not designed for that. You will probably get more predictable behavior if you just have the subgraph as a member rather than as a base class.
I see. I'll do that then. Is there any discussion of this issue ("inheriting from Boost classes considered harmful") somewhere in the Boost docs? (I never noticed one.) Given that Boost is a C++ framework, I'm sure I won't be the last person to try to specialize the classes via inheritance. Just a simple "there be dragons here" admonition would suffice. Trevor
