That would be something like this:

class BASIC
{
private: // Lots of variables here...
public:
   BASIC( int a, int b);
};

class NOTSOBASIC
{
private:
  BASIC b1(1, 2);
  BASIC b2(3,4);
public:
  NOTSOBASIC() { /* how to init b1 and b2? */ }
};

Ofcourse it isn't really handy to declare the object with fixed parameters
like this. You could make a constructor BASIC::BASIC() - *without*
parameters - and do the handle handling from a separet method, like this:

class BASIC
{
private: // Lots of variables here...
  int ba, int bb;
public:
   BASIC();
   Create( int a, int b);
};

BASIC::Create(int a, int b)
{
  ba = a;
  bb = b;
}

class NOTSOBASIC
{
private:
  BASIC b1;
  BASIC b2;
public:
  NOTSOBASIC(int a, int b)
};

NOTSOBASIC::NOTSOBASIC(int a, int b)
{
  b1.Create(a, b);
  b2.Create(a, b);
}
