The error seems to indicate a namespace problem rather then something specific 
to member template friends?

Maybe the problem is related to namespace handling in VC 8.0

Boost.numeric.interval library fails when included in uBLAS due to a curious 
namespace problem.

The same problem effect VC 7.1 as well. Why the compilers think the 'lower' 
'upper' symbols are ambiguous I have no idea!
