Code Restricting member of a class non-inheritable in C++

There is base class B, and two derived classes D1 and D2 derived from Base. Base class B, have two data members ( public or protected or private or if any). D1 should inherit both these data members, and D2 should be deriving only one member from Base class. Is this kind of design possible without using "friend" concept ? Language - C++.

I recall inheritance is for adding, not subtracting. If you have a first class with the common subset, you can inherit and add as you go. D1 can inherit from D2 and add.

If all access is by methods, the methods can be made to do various things if you want a member to not really exist.
