If I understand what you are trying to do, this is typically how I do  
that:

class Private
   def run_func
     you_cant_change_me
   end

   private
     def you_cant_change_me
       puts "you can't change me!"
     end
end

class Private
   private
     def you_cant_change_me
       puts "you changed me!"
     end
end

a = Private.new
a.run_func
