Pffeeew  ;-)
I have to admit that the first time I saw it I was shocked. This behaviour
is IMHO against the object model; private members should be realy private,
and not visible in the unit. The same for protected.

Same here, I "discovered" this feature while I started working on the
internals of Lazarus, on how and when a component is created.
