Description
Private: indicates that member declarations following it have private access. Private members are accessible only from inside a member function for the Type or Class.

Example
Type testing
number As Integer
Private:
nome As String
Declare Sub setNome( ByRef newnome As String )
End Type
Sub testing.setnome( ByRef newnome As String )
'' This is OK. We're inside a member function for the type
this.nome = newnome
End Sub
Dim As testing myVariable
'' This is OK, number is public
myVariable.number = 69
'' this would generate a compile error
'' - nome is private and we're trying to access it outside any of this TYPE's member functions
'' myVariable.nome = "FreeBASIC"
