module this will work:

//a.d
class A
{
private final void overrideFun()
{
import std.stdio : writeln;
writeln("A::overrideFun");
}
}

//b.d
import a;
class B : A
{
void overrideFun()
{
import std.stdio : writeln;
writeln("B::overrideFun");
}
}

// main.d
import b;

void main(string[] args)
{
B b = new B;
b.overrideFun;
}
