Guarded Stance as a Furious Guardian: Will the Furious Guardian levels count towards Guarded Stance?

Benefit: The barbarian gains a +1 dodge bonus to her Armor Class against melee attacks for a number of rounds equal to the barbarian's current Constitution modifier (minimum 1). This bonus increases by +1 for every 6 levels the barbarian has attained. Activating this ability is a move action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity.

Does this mean any levels the barbarian has attained (number of HD) or the number of barbarian levels attained (number of Barbarian HD)?

If acquired through Furious Guardian's Guarded Dedications, would Furious Guardian levels count towards the total?

Guarded Stance is a Barbarian class rage power, correct?

The only way that Furious Guardian prestige class levels would apply would be if that class has some language about its levels counting as and/or stacking with Barbarian levels for such purposes. Does it?

Rage (Ex):

A furious guardian is trained to harness her brutish nature while in combat in the defense of her charge. This works as the barbarian ability of the same name. A furious guardian's class levels stack with any other classes granting this ability for determining the effects of rage powers and the number of rounds per day the guard can rage.

Guarded Stance is a rage power.

All class abilities are written with single class characters in mind, so it is 1 per 6 barbarian levels.
