&lt; I'm not sure in what way this functions like the private flag.  "Private" 
&lt; for a method means it is accessible only from methods defined on its own 
&lt; definer.  All variables fit this definition of "private."  A 'protected" 
&lt; variable I would expect to be accessible from methods defined on children of 
&lt; its definer, as are protected methods.

Hsm, true, I seem to have been looking at it from the wrong angle...

&lt;       shared (Eric Weber's suggestion)
&lt;       unshared
&lt; 
&lt;       shared
&lt;       individual

I like 'shared'...

Also, I remember an older name we had for methods 'local' ...
