Questions as part of conditional statements?

I'm curious re. the use of questions as part of conditional statements. How 
is the condition to be understood when this happens? I've browsed some 
grammars this afternoon, but haven't found any discussion of this. The only 
passing reference that I did find was in Wallace: "Often when a question is 
asked in the apodosis, the author does not embrace the truth of the 
protasis" (GGBB, 692). Any thoughts? Or pointers to a published discussion 
of this?

Thanks,
