I don't think you can use protected scope in plugin modules. As I understand it, plugin modules always use public scope (or are supposed to anyway - or least they do in Rb5.x) but as far as I can tell all plugin module methods are global in 200x IDE's. I reported this as a bug long ago but RS closed the report and refused to re- open it. Maybe another voice on the report will help: <http:// www.realsoftware.com/feedback/viewreport.php?reportid=acfhivpw>

Since you can declare individual methods to the Plugin SDK (which would be global) what is the point of making module methods global? I would think that you would define a global method if you want it to be global and method only accessed by the module namespace if you declare it within the module.

Lets hope they reopen the case.
