Usually my Class would have a name like LTWConfigValidation, so for private 
methods I tend to call internal methods something like:

validationFindNextItem:

If I don’t prefix the name, then I’d make it more verbose:

findNextItemInArray or whatever.

Also, I prefix properties with “p” and instance variables with “m”. 

This minimises to almost nothing the chance of getting conflicts.

Cheers
Dave
