I meant commenting out the first parameterised constructor and replacing it with the second (which in effect in that case does the same thing). If I do that, I get: g++ test.cpp test.cpp: In constructor `baseClass<T, defaultVal>::baseClass(T) [with T = int,T defaultVal = 5]': test.cpp:41: instantiated from here test.cpp:18: error: type `class baseClass<int, 5>' is not a direct base of `baseClass<int, 5>' Cheers, Fred
