This by itself is very dangerous. That's the opposite : the 'friend' keyword defines the classes which can access to your class, not the classes you can access to. As I already said, package-private is fine, but it restrict the scope to the same namespace. I agree that it will be the major case but friendship allows other cases. Regards François
