anyone DID or not can get a restraining order against anyone just by going to their local court house and showing proof of their reason for wanting one such as being harrassed (going to someones house too often or uninvited can fit harrassment in some locations) emotional or physical abuse... theres lots of reasons why a person wants and gets a restraining order...they dont have to have DID and alters,
a person telling their friends not to come by anymore is also not a symptom nor criteria for having DID...anyone DID or not can choose their own friends and who they want to hang out with.
you can find the diagnostic criteria for DID here -

Symptoms for DID each person has their own ways in which alters affect them protect them such as getting the host/core out of abusive - mental physical emotional or harrassing - relationships.
alters usually dont step in on friendships unless there is some sort of danger or situaiton that the host/ core can not handle.
my suggestion- stay away from this friend until this friend seeks you out, otherwise DID or not you could be on the receiving end of a restraining order and possible jail time depending on your locations rules, laws and what ever the situation is...
