I see

In my case in a simpler version than posted 

this compiles fine  

template <class T>
class Synchronised {
    public:
        Synchronised(T t = T{}) : t_{t} {}
        template <typename F>
        auto operator()(F f) const -> decltype(f(t_)) {
            std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock{mutex_};
            return f(t_);
        }
        private: // place this before public: and this object compiles
            mutable T t_;
            mutable std::mutex mutex_;
};

Fails and swapping private to be declared before public works ! as below

This will not compile 

template <class T>
class Synchronised {
      private: // place this before public: and this object compiles
            mutable T t_;
            mutable std::mutex mutex_;

    public:
        Synchronised(T t = T{}) : t_{t} {}
        template <typename F>
        auto operator()(F f) const -> decltype(f(t_)) {
            std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock{mutex_};
            return f(t_);
        }
  };

I think you are saying the same thing but this is what I mean by private coming
before public (changing accessors or their order). I think it is the only
situation I have encountered this.
