Somebody correct me if I am wrong -
The over-riding of a virtual functions mean that it
really over-rides previous implementation! If you need the
functionality of the over-ridden function in the new
function - simply call it appropriately in the new func! -

RETVAL class::virtual_func( ... )
{
  do_something_if_needed();
  ::virtual_func( ... ); // or base_class::virtual_func( ... );
  or_do_something_here_if_needed();
}
