That is not true. The base class constructor is called _before_ any members are constructed. Try it yourself.
I am not sure what you are referring to. Before the C++ compiler passes a reference to something, it has constructed it. The example you gave was of a ctor taking a reference. Before that ctor is executed, I will personally guarantee that it and all it's base classes have been constructed. You are working under a delusion that should be corrected very soon.
