Description:
------------
calling overridden methods from a base class seems inconsistent, when the overridden method is private in the parent class and public in the child class.

i do not know which one is the intended mode to work with,
but one of them is inconsistent.

 * the child method gets called when the child declares it protected 
 * the parent method gets called when it's declared public.
one of these shouldn't be.



Reproduce code:
---------------
class A {
	
	public function __construct() {
		$this -> foo();
	}
	
	private function foo() {
		echo __METHOD__ . "\r\n";
	}
}

class B extends A {
	public function foo() {
		echo __METHOD__ . "\r\n";
	}
}

class C extends A {	
	protected function foo() {
		echo __METHOD__ . "\r\n";
	}
}


$a = new A();
$b = new B();
$c = new C();

Expected result:
----------------
either
====
A::foo
A::foo
A::foo
====
or 
====
A::foo
B::foo
C::foo
====
... i, personally, would prefer the second result.


Actual result:
--------------
A::foo
A::foo
C::foo
