I've got two classes...  Both of them have lots of constructive arguments,
and I want to have one of them be contained from the other one.  Here's what
I mean:

class a {
public:
 a(int b) {
  x = b;
 }
protected:
 int x;
}

class b {
public:
 b(int x) {
  // normally, I would just do this:
  //  a class_a_instance(x);
  // but that doesn't seem to work.
  // any ideas on how to call class a's constructor
  // if it's part of another class?
  // thanks!  chia AT top DOT net
 }
protected:
 a class_a_instance;
}
