Can someone explain the initialization of the base class when virtual
inheritance is used?

Initialization occurs as follows:

1. For the most derived class, the virtual base classes are initialzied

2. Direct bases are initialized in the order they are listed in the
class declaration.

3. Members are initialized in the order they are declared.

4. The constructor body is run
