If they can be virtual, what is an example of a scenario in which one would

Answer 1

At least with gcc 5.4 virtual functions could be template members but has to be templates themselves.

#include 
#include 
class first {
protected:
    virtual std::string  a1() { return "a1"; }
    virtual std::string  mixt() { return a1(); }
};

class last {
protected:
    virtual std::string a2() { return "a2"; }
};

template  class mix: first , T {
    public:
    virtual std::string mixt() override;
};

template std::string mix::mixt() {
   return a1()+" before "+T::a2();
}

class mix2: public mix  {
    virtual std::string a1() override { return "mix"; }
};

int main() {
    std::cout << mix2().mixt();
    return 0;
}

Outputs

mix before a2
