I really like this solution!

If you move this to a new function CaptureRequest::waitFences() you cold 
remove the friend statement :-)

If you move these to the .cpp file you can get away with forward 
declaration of most of the classes used.

Could you not remove this and store a shared_ptr inside the Worker?
