The respect is still there from Itachi to Kakashi, though Itachi is quite a bit stronger anyway. I think they have some mutual understanding of each other's lives, considering both struggled with darkness, were in the Anbu and suffered in wars.

Both are geniuses, early-bloom talented shinobi, one being a child of a legendary shinobi, the other from pretty much the strongest shinobi clan in the whole world. I love their interactions while serving for the Anbu, there are definitely mutual understandings and respects, because of all things we've mentioned above. It's pity that the storyline happened as it did like we all know.
