Compile to Library: Private Type?

[tchart]

Loving 2.5 and the compile to class.

One of my code modules has a custom type defined. For example;

Type Point (X As Double, Y As Double)

Now when I compile this as a library this type is exposed (even though my Process_Globals is "private").

Is there a way to hide this Type from the being exposed by the library in the B4A IDE?

The example above is pretty simple but another custom type I have in the library has 10+ primitives. The type is only used internally by my code so the user doesn't need to see it.

Only be editing the generated XML file and removing this type.

The implication of the discussion above is that types are always public. So if you want to use a type from a different module does it matter which section it is declared in?

I discovered that a type statement fails to compile when marked as public. So do the keywords public/private not apply to types?

Public Type MYTYPE1 (a As Int, b As Int)  '!!this fails to compile
Type MYTYPE2 (a As Int,b As Int)

(Incidentally the compiler error message is not helpful so it takes a bit of fiddling to work out what's wrong with the statement.)

Types are always public. It doesn't matter where they are declared.
