Jim,

DoDefault() or :: does cause the code up the class tree to be executed, right when it's called (IN-LINE), it's not at the end like the VFP BaseClass behavior.

FWIW in C++ there is no automatic calling of the method code, you always have to use ::, unless you are intending to explicitly prevent code up the class from executing.
