(Noob question) Should subclasses be defined in separate modules?

(Sorry if this is a duplicate.)
If I have the following code inside of a module:
```D
class Obj {
private {
string name = "Hi";
}
}
class ObjDerived : Obj {
}
```
Is it best practice to define `ObjDerived` inside another module,
since `ObjDerived` can still access the members of `Obj` (since
`private` is only applied to modules), or does this go against
the intended use of the language?
As a beginner, I am having an extremely tough time understanding
why you would want to place these two classes in the same module
or even have this intended behavior of `private`. I am coming
from Java/Kotlin which are both strictly OO language and have
different ways of encapsulation.
