There is no such thing as a "private" method in Objective-C. The @private,
@protected, @public keywords only work on instance variables. So if the
super class implements -close, there should never be anything stopping your
subclass from simply calling [super close].

In this case, [super close] and [self close] are the same thing.
Because you never overrode the -close method in your subclass, it
doesn't matter, but if you ever do decide to override -close in your
subclass, all the parts where you call [super close] will be broken.

The OP did override -close in their subclass and were attempting to call [super close] from the subclass' -close method. The OP stated that they couldn't simply use [super close] because -close was "private," which didn't make any sense to me.
