If I understand you correctly, you have something like

-- header file
struct Foo{
	int baz ();
	virtual void keyFunc ();
	};

---- in some TUa
inline int Foo::baz () {...}
--- in some TUb
void Foo::keyFunc () {...}

Such code is illformed by 7.1.2/4
	If a function with external linkage is declared inline in one
	translation unit, it shall be declared inline in all translation
	units in which it appears; no diagnostic is required.
