Hi Gregory,
unfortunally this is not usable cause a bug,
if the property it is not readable VARTYPE() fire a error.
try

WITH CREATEOBJECT('aaa')
? VARTYPE(.hprop)
? VARTYPE(.pprop)
? VARTYPE(.prop)
ENDWITH 

DEFINE CLASS aaa as Custom
	HIDDEN hprop
	PROTECTED pprop 
	hprop = .T.
	pprop = .T.
	prop = .T.
ENDDEFINE
