Module and protected/private functions

[Fritz Trapper]

Is it possible to declare parts of a module as private or protected to
import these properties via mixin into classes?

 

[Robert Dober]

Is it possible to declare parts of a module as private or protected to
import these properties via mixin into classes?

as a matter of fact it is,

module M
def a; end
protected
def aa; end
private
def aaa; end
end => nil
include M => Object
private_methods.grep /\Aa/ => [:aaa, :at_exit, :abort, :autoload, :autoload?]
protected_methods.grep /\Aa/ => [:aa]
methods.grep /\Aa/ => [:a, :aa]
