#### §3.5.(e) Access control

For accessing an otherwise invisible field, the rules for decapsulation (§3.4) apply accordingly.
Recall, that according to JLS §8.3 fields may be hidden in sub-classes of a given base class. Therefore, it is relevant to know that a callout to a field will always access the field that is visible in the exact base class of the role class defining the callout. This is especially relevant for accessing private fields.
