You mean, if the class is defined in the same file?

That won't help much, I think, I need it between different files.

Erm, I'd expect the evaluation and declaration order be similar to
whenever we make a reference to another class.
I just rechecked how C++ handles it; that might be too convoluted to
immitate.

How about something like:

==================in file: file1.pike==========
class a {
  friend .file2.c;
  private int b;
}
==============================================
==================in file: file2.pmod==========
class c {
  void d(a e) {
    e.b = 12;
  }
}
==============================================

This would suit my needs perfectly.
