Though `a < 8 && a > 15` is already a rather strict condition. — aschepler, Nov 27 '13 at 22:58

Use base::valid() anywhere within the derived class code.

class derived:public base
{

    int a;
    public:
        bool valid();
        {
              bool ok= false;
              if(a<8 && a>15 && base::valid()) //call base's class valid method;
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^
                  side note: think about changing this condition
                             probably a>8 && a<15
                  ok = true; 
              return ok;

        }

};
