i bet it is intended. protection of struct/class members is independed of 
protection of struct/class itself. this is good for code consistency: no 
changing of outer protection flags can alter struct/class inner 
machinery. so if you changed your mind about protection level of some 
global things, you shouldn't unnecessary "fix" your code in completely 
unrelated places.
