private keyword doesn't works...

Dears All,

I created a sketch with multi TABs; one TAB is for the main program the others are for the classes; in the classes I used "private" for the fields and methods but in the main TAB I can recall the private fields and methods and I can manage/modify these directly...why?. I am using 3.3.7.

regards

All ".pde" files are concatenated as 1 ".java" file, wrapped up as 1 subclass of PApplet. ~O)

B/c classes created inside ".pde" files are nested members of that PApplet top subclass, any restriction access keywords, like private & protected, doesn't affect the sketch code, b/c every1 is a member of the same class. >-)
