Friends
class	X3D::X3DSAX2Handlers
	We need to make it possible for X3DSAX2Handlers to set up routes to fields withing the X3DPrototypeNode, so it must have access to the id member variable.
class	yy::VrmlParser
	And the same for the VRML parser.

Detailed Description

This abstract node type is the base type for all prototype instances in the X3D system.

Any user-defined nodes declared with PROTO or EXTERNPROTO are instantiated using this base type. An X3DPrototypeInstance may be place anywhere in the scene graph where it is legal to place the first node declared within the prototype instance. For example, if the base type of first node is X3DAppearanceNode, that prototype may be instantiated anywhere in the scene graph that allows for an appearance node system.

And the same for the VRML parser. Bison code handles routing, so yy::vrml_parser must be a friend:
