##Won't work method #1

class Foobar
  private
  def foo;  p "Foobar";  end
end

class Baz < Foobar
  def blah; foo; end
end

baz = Baz.new
baz.foo

## Work method #2

class Foobar
  private
  def foo;  p "Foobar";  end
end

class Baz < Foobar
  def blah; foo; end
end

baz = Baz.new
baz.blah

PickAxe2:

If a method is private, it may be called only within the context of
the calling objectÍÊt is never possible to access another object's
private methods directly, even if the object is of the same class as
the caller.

So what happens in Method#2, why foo can be easily called, when called
from inside the class Baz? I mean, that method foo should be still
bound to instance baz...so in which context foo gets called in
Method#2.
