Overloading class operator new

// declare

        static void*     operator new        (size_t);
        static void      operator delete     (void*, size_t);

// define

void* CLASS::operator new (size_t lSize)
{
        void* lRetPtr    = 0;
        try
        {
            lRetPtr             = ::operator new(lSize);
        }
        catch (exception* lExcp) 
        {
            throw;
        }
        return(lRetPtr);
}

void CLASS::operator delete(void* lPtr, size_t lSize)
{
        ::operator delete(lPtr);
}

If I had a base class that had it''s new operator overloaded, would it be possible to access that object?

What I want to do is to allow my object to store it''s list index when it is placed into the list, which happens to occur in the overloaded new operator.
