Yes, I want all specializations of B to be friend of A.

Well I oversimplified the example code a bit too much, and I didn't make sense 
anymore. B needs to be template, because it handles several different object 
types. The one thing they have in common is that they are all derived from class 
A. A has private functionality, that I don't wan't to access directly from any 
derived class, hence the private specifier. I DO wan't to access these private 
functionality from the template class though. Hence my question.

I solved the problem by making a base class for the template class B. This base 
class can be friend of A without any problem.

Thanks anyway.

Wiljo.
