virtual for all derived class

If I define a virtual method in a class, the same method in all
derived classes, no matter it is labeled by "virtual" or not in the
derived class, will be virtual, right?

Correct.

But, I'd label them as virtual in any case, so that later, you (or someone
else) doesn't have to go searching through the hierarchy to *see* if a
function if virtual or not.
