This is the mechanism that printf() uses to pass mixed arguments in, so its definitely doable. printf uses its format string to help unpack the argument list, but there are other ways. You could use a simplified format string like "sddi", showing that the unspecified arguments are a string, two doubles and an int. Another option might be to use an indicator e.g
C
#define ARG_INT 1
#define ARG_LONG 2
#define ARG_DOUBLE 3
#define ARG_CHAR 4
#define ARG_STRING 5
  // ... 
#define ARG_END -1

int var_arg_fn(int arg, ...)
{
    va_ist args;
    va_start(args, arg);
    while(arg != ARG_END) {
        switch(arg) {
           case ARG_INT :
           {
              int i = va_arg(args, int);
              // ...
              break;
           }
           case ARG_DOUBLE :
           {
              double d = va_arg(args, double);
               // ...
              break;
           }
           // ... etc ...
           default:
              // handle error, maybe 
        }
        arg = va_arg(args, int);
    }
}
// and then call it like
var_arg_fn(ARG_INT, 1, ARG_DOUBLE, 3.2, ARG_STRING, strvar, ARG_END); 
I'm sure if you think about it, you can come up with something that suits your needs.
But since you're using C++ now might be the time to venture into the world of variadic fuction templates. Google for that and check out one or more of the tutorials and/or examples. It might be a better fit than trying to wrap things back down to C stdargs.
Update: Here's a video on variadic templates that may help
