Is there a way to use a template class as a parameter to a member function of a
non-template class?

When type checking is done at compile time, the compiler complains about <T> not
being defined as a parameter to the member function of the non-template class.

Is there a way to get around that so that the type checking is actually done at
run time?

If I understand your question, you're actually asking for type as value.
I do not believe C++ is into this sort of thing.

(But, if that's what you want, I can supply references to languages that
support this.)

However, the Oct-95 DWP does indicate that you can do,

 template <class T> struct S {};

 template <template <class T> struct SS = S> struct X { ... };

I believe the intention is that things enclosed by the angle brackets
have only compile time or static semantics, never runtime.

I could be wrong, though.
