calling virtual function results in calling function of base class ...

Make sure you have a virtual destructor, private copy constructor and
private assignment operator.

Did you make a typo or something. It will call Der::foo if your foo
signature is exact the same in Der.
Are you sure you use pointers when you are passing the Der object as a
Base object? To make sure use private copy constructor and private
assignment operator so you will not lose the Der object info when
copying the object.

Typo?

Nope
