I guess that was what I was asserting (or trying to anyway!) - that the influence went both ways. It was by no means just that Stravinsky influenced Prokofiev, which (if I read Learsfool's post correctly) it seemed he was contending. Nor do I think Stravinsky's influence on Prokofiev was particularly significant, aside from a couple of works.
Also, I'm not sure that I'd characterize that Op. 94 Flute Sonata as particularly neo-classical - for instance, that opening theme is pretty luscious romanticism in my book, and I don't think Stravinsky had much of an influence on it. Moreover, I don't think that Stravinsky is necessarily the king of (or originator of) neo-classicism either - geez, think of such composers as Respighi and Strauss (Le Bourgeois gentilhomme, Dance Suite after Couperin!), or even Tchaikovsky (we can't forget Mozartiana or the Rococo Variations, or large parts of the Queen of Spades). In this respect, Stravinsky was just one of many IMHO.
Also, far from waning, Prokofiev's influence extended to the latter couple of decades in the 20th century - check out James Horner's music for Star Trek II, where his "homage" to Prokofiev is sometimes note-for-note! ;-)
(OK, I concede that there's a lot of Stravinsky influence in parts of John Williams' Star Wars music!)
