So, if your example is right, then by default
A::SomeFunction(...) is private to class A, and class B never
see the A::Some Function(...) as its method also.

This is not entirely true. You confuse a visibility of a method
with its access rights. Class B can see `A::SomeFunction' method
all right. What it cannot do is to access `A::SomeFunction' in
order to perfom a call (or to take an address of the method).

During call resolution function properties are tested in the
following order:

1. Name matching.
2. Argument overloading matching.
3. Access rights.

Every name in the base class (including private ones) is visible
in derived class.
