Can I use C++ class members initialized in the initializer list, later in the list?

Question

I am rewriting some code to eliminate global variables and made a class constructor/destructor handle cleanup of some third party library resources, but I am concerned about

Answer 1

The members are initialized in the order they are declared, top to bottom

PoDoFo::PdfOutputDevice device;
PoDoFo::PdfStreamedDocument document;
PoDoFo::PdfPainter painter;

so it is safe to use device to initialize document.
