I hope that was a descriptive enough title.

Here is the example:

struct Base {
friend class FriendOfBase;
static int *a;
};

class FriendOfBase {
static int m;
};

int *Base::a = &FriendOfBase::m;

The initialization of Base::a should have access to
FriendOfBase::a, but compiling this gives the
following: 


member `m' is a private member of class `FriendOfBase'
