Imo opinions are split 50/50 on whether access levels should be file based or type based, it's endless debate.
What are the downsides of covering both cases? I.e. making private "visible in the current file and type extensions".
This concept is not that hard to teach and doesn't require complex and syntactically verbose access level systems.
