Peter:

        Your code fragment compiles without complaint using the latest version  
of Zortech C++.  You are explicitly allowing the same level of access in the  
derived class as the base class.  According to Lippman page 318 you should be  
able to exempt individual members from the private derivation.

                                A quick answer,

                                 Roy Browning
