I'm afraid declaring boost::serialization::access a friend is only 
helpful if you choose the intrusive approach and your serialize member 
function is not public. If you need the members to be non-public and a 
"non-intrusive" approach, it seems you have to use a workaround like a 
derived "accessor class" that exposes the private members. See 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1687579/boost-serialization-access-to-protected-data 
for an example.

Have a nice day,
Stefan
