One for the language lawyers.

Assume that you have two sets of packages as followes :-

   package A is ... end;
   private package A.B is ... end;
   package A.B.C is ... end;

AND

   package A is ... end;
   private package A.B is ... end;
   private package A.B.C is ... end;--  * different.

Once a certain level of the tree is private (A.B), what is the
significance of making further children (A.B.C) private vs. public ?.

What operations and / or visibility will I have on one set of packages
that I will not 
have on the other set ?.

Any takers ?.
