It already is, but I have the same problem. I think if A is a child of
B then the body of A can see the body of B, but the public specification of
A cannot see the body of B (which is what I need).

One of the functions in A takes in a parameter of type C, where C
is declared in the private part of B. This function is not used
anywhere other than the body of B.

Thank you,
Steven Murdoch.
