What's the deal with the following wording then?

https://timsong-cpp.github.io/cppwp/n4861/expr.rel#4.2

"If two pointers point to different non-static data members of the same
object, or to subobjects of such members, recursively, the pointer to
the later declared member is required to compare greater provided
neither member is a subobject of zero size and their class is not a
union."

This pretty much specifies that data members declared later have higher
address, regardless of access control.
