The difference among PUBLIC and Private it is this:

- PUBLIC doesn't depend on the stack scope  
- PRIVATE it depends on the stack scope

In the following case the public variable should be invisible
while READ EVENTS it is active,
but various bugs of VFP do yes that in some situation
the PUBLIC variable it is visible but that PRIVATE no.

CLEAR
PUBLIC someVar
someVar = "public"
PRIVATE someVar
someVar = "private"
? somevar
READ EVENTS
