Re: [Boost-users] scoped_ptr help.

I initialize scoped_ptr in the member initialization list frequently. You should be able to do it as well. However, I can't guess at what your problem is because

1) I don't know what error you are getting
2) I don't know what the constructor for CTest2 looks like

What I suspect is that you are passing the wrong argument to the initializer for m_spTest2. It should be something like
        : m_spTest2(new CTest2(aa, bb))

Where you'd get instances for aa and bb from the default CTest construct is unclear, but that could the actual problem.

Alternately, you would need to have CTest2 defined "near" the definition of the CTest() constructor, because the CTest constructor invokes a method of CTest2. If defined outside the class, that would be somewhere before the definition. If defined in CTest, then it could be as late as the closing brace of the class (if CTest2 is a nested class).
