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'.
