Yes, any non-transient data member can be made virtual, including
object pointers and containers.

Line 74 in your code fragment looks like this:

> #pragma db member(boost::shared_ptr<CLens>) virtual(LensPtr) get(lens) set (setLens)

I think you mistakenly used the type rather than the name in the member()
clause. It probably should be something along these lines:

#pragma db member(Lens) virtual(LensPtr) get(lens) set(setLens)
