Members of your squad actualy evolve during the game, if they arent kiled obviously, they gain expirience, their stats improve etc. Actualy the mentioned fetures are core of any RPG styled game.
    but squad based combat is no "classic" genre its a crossover of strategie and most often roleplaying elements, but yeah since i think of fallout tactics it dont have to be turn based

    EDIT: oh and Will you asked about "classic" genre so crossovers dont count
    and the Others... button leave enough freedom

    basicly there wasnt a real FPS or TPS genre they where subgenre of the big "action" genre but i dont like the definition "action" better put shooter in a single genre cause there much subgenre in shooter themself

    back in my studies there was a big discussion about classic genre and we kinda sort out a list we could live with
