Does D have something like the concept of friend classes and 
functions in C++? I'd like to have a function that can access 
private members of two classes at the same time.

No (t really), you have to stick the two classes into the same 
module.

The closest is to put both classes and the function in the same 
module. Things all in the same module can see the private members 
of each other.

Sometimes 'package' is more suitable than 'private'.
