this first example creates an object Test1 which has a destructor, an object Test2 which is derived from Test1 and has it's own destructor, and finally, a structure which is not allowed to have a destructor.
well, here is the code:

With Line Numbers and Without Line Numbers

which produces the following output:

BEGIN:
  Create a new Test1
    Test1 (blah) Constructor
  Create a new Test2
    Test1 (foo) Constructor
    Test2 (foo) Constructor
  Create a new Test3
  Start First Collection Point
    Test2 Finalize [foo]
    Test1 Finalize [foo]
    Test1 Finalize [blah]
  End First Collection Point
END

things to notice:

the constructor for Test1 is called prior to the one for Test2 when you create a Test2 object
the destructor for Test1 is called after the one for Test2 when you finalize a Test2 object
