I wish people would not reiterate such wrong information.
Yes, your friend can guest you in (did it before).

I was referring to guesting based on status and guesting based on class of service.

From the OneWorld website:

Quote:

First Class passengers may invite one guest to join them in the lounge. The guest must also be travelling on a flight operated and marketed by a oneworld airline

Thus, whilst someone travelling in F can guest someone into the CX F lounges, the guest also needs to be travelling on a OneWorld airline. Therefore someone travelling on Hong Kong airlines would not be eligible to be guested into a OneWorld lounge.
