I thought they were friends when I first watched B7, and on re-viewing it this year. Gan looks after Vila on the London and Cygnus Alpha, and teases him about his fear a couple of times. It looks friendly to me. I didn't say they were close friends. I can imagine that they found teaming up mutually profitable before Blake rescues them - Gan has a limiter and isn't that fast a thinker, nor very suspicious. Vila wants protection, and would be a good lookout for Gan, being on constant tenterhooks.
