Thanks for the reply Mark.  I changed the define to be:
(define-abbrev c++-mode-abbrev-table "ifx" "" 'my-skeleton-c-if)

It now works.  Do you know of a way to map these to multiple modes?  I
know there is a c-mode-common-hook that works for both c and c++, I
was wondering if there's something similar for c-mode-abbrev-table
(something like a c-mode-common-abbrev-table).
