is there some way to have a the arguments of a member function
initialized with the data members?

for example

class CurveEquation
{
  Date	start;
  Date	end;
  Basis		basis;	
  Compound	freq;	

 public:
 /* line 55 */Rate *GetRate(
		const Date &d = start, 
		Basis newBasis = basis, 
		Compound newFreq = freq
		);	
};
yields

curveEq.hh:55: `start' undeclared, outside of functions
curveEq.hh:56: `basis' undeclared, outside of functions
curveEq.hh:57: `freq' undeclared, outside of functions


I tried using the scope operator (CurveEquation::start) but
that did not help


Thanks Andy Davidson
