I recall hearing someone at a TriAda conference years ago describing OOD as: "If you want a banana, you have to take the whole gorilla." You may gain something with OOD, but you sacrifice something for it as well. I'd see this as a problem for both Ada95 and C++ when you use the OO model so I would be reluctant to pick on C++ for it.
