How to hide a binding from everyone except class T

I need type A, which will lead to its hidden binding to an object of type T, but will hide the binding from everyone else. My C ++ compiler is GCC 4.4, but that doesn't matter. Why won't it work?

#include <iostream>

template <class T> class A {
  private:
    int n1;
  public:
    friend class T;
    A(const int n0 = 0) : n1(n0) {}
};

class B {
  public:
    int f(const A<B> a) const { return a.n1; }
    B() {}
};

int main() {
    const A<B> a(5);
    const B b;
    const int m = b.f(a);
    std::cout << m << "\n";
    return 0;
}

By the way, this works fine, except that it cannot hide the binding:

#include <iostream>

template <class T> class A {
  private:
    int n1;
  public:
    int n() const { return n1; }
    A(const int n0 = 0) : n1(n0) {}
};

class B {
  public:
    int f(const A<B> a) const { return a.n(); }
    B() {}
};

int main() {
    const A<B> a(5);
    const B b;
    const int m = b.f(a);
    std::cout << m << "\n";
    return 0;
}

Does C ++ really not allow you to specify a friend class at compile time as a template parameter? Why not? If not, what alternative technique should I use to hide the binding? (Prefer, if possible, a compile-time method.)

What is my misunderstanding, please?
