Exception Handling, Scope and Destructor questions

However, if I have a class "one" and a class "two", which inherits from class "one", if I call any instance of "two", the destructor of "one" also gets called. The question is: if I use a reference to "two" in form of "one", will the destructor of "two" be called?

Yes. Destructors are virtual.

No. The first matching catch block is the one that is used. The last one 
is only executed when an exception other than Type1 or Type2 is thrown.

Yes.

Yes, this is allowed.
