'class::identifier': illegal private access declaration

The public or protected part of a derived class can adjust access to a member of a base class. The private part cannot.

The following example shows ways this error might occur.

struct X
{
private:
   int priv;
protected:
   int prot;
public:
   int pub;
};
struct A : public X
{
private:
   X::priv;    // error
   X::prot;    // error
   X::pub;     // error
};
struct B : protected X
{
private:
   X::priv;    // error
   X::prot;    // error
   X::pub;     // error
};
struct C : private X
{
private:
   X::priv;    // error
   X::prot;    // error
   X::pub;     // error
};
