Grammar
His best friend and my friend
Can one say
a. My brother was in front of me. His best friend and my friend was beside me.
b. My brother was in front of me. His best friend, and my friend, was beside me.
c. My brother was in front of me. His best friend, and a friend of mine, was beside me.
?
The intended meaning is
d. My brother was in front of me. His best friend, who was also my friend, was beside me.
My feeling is that (d) is the best of the lot. But are the other ones grammatical?
Many thanks.
