From http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/basics-of-inheritance.html#faq-19.5

A member (either data member or member function) declared in a protecte

I think that the thing you are trying to do should looks like this:

#include 
using namespace std;

class X
{
    private:
        int var;
protected:
    virtual void fun () 
    {
        var = 10;
        cout << "\nFrom X" << var; 
    }
};

class Y : public X
{
private:
    int var;
public:
    virtual void fun () 
    {
        var = 20;
        cout << "\nFrom Y" << var;
    }

    void call ()
    {
        fun ();


        X::fun ();
    }
};

That way you can invoke hiden member from your base class. Otherwise you have to add friend X as it was pointed in other post.
