This is correct as the A here is injected via the inheirtance of the class.  If
you want to use the name the global A, use ::A.

> access of locals 

Huh?  That is not what I am saying.  What I am saying is that A names (inside
C) the injected name in B which is private.

The reason why:
template <class T, class U> class D : private T
{
  D(int i) : T(i) { U u; } 
};  

template class D<A,A>; // local A gets global access rights
--- CUT ---

Works is because the names you are using are T and U and not A.

My last counterexample was invalid, sorry. Furthermore, the problem does not
seem a template problem. I now have an example where the local object has lower
rights than the inherited object, thus no access inheritance for the local.

Without having looked into your last snippet, I note that the Intel Compiler,
VC++, and Comeau also reject it.

B is a friend of A so can call the private constructor.

A(int) is public, so it can be called

What is this supposed to do?

>

A(int, int) is protected, so D can call it on its base sub-object

>   { 
>     A d(i,j); // friend class D of class D has no inherited rights here
>               // note that friends do not have inherited objects in general

The object 'd' is not a sub-object of D, so there is no access to that
constructor from D's member functions.

> };  
>

That constructor is public, so of course it can.

Your example is not valid C++, that's not a problem with GCC.
