Yes, but it can be not in one file, as in example. If it in one file, and
friend class is below the main class, can avoid warning by this:

class MyClass2;

class MyClass1
{
   friend class MyClass2; // trivial stupid human issue with MyClas2 ->
MyClass2
private:
   void help();
};

class MyClass2
{
public:
   void need(MyClass1 *cl) {
      cl->help();   // error: is private!!
   }
};

Also, maybe can use it on paranoid level warnings, for example.
