Hello Marcus,

  Is this correct?

  
  private readable $abc;
  - doesn't make sense.
  
  protected readable $abc;
  - sub-class can read, not write
  - not visible outside class

  public readable $abc;
  - sub-class can read, and write
  - outside class can read, not write


  If not, please clarify.
  Thanks!
