Protection attributes on module-level class, struct, interface, enum, template, alias and union delcarations (and possibly others) don't work. Also, some protection attributes don't work on any module-level declarations, eg constants.

Test code:

-prot.d-
module prot;

private interface IEngine {
    void start();
}

private class Engine : IEngine {
    void start() {
    }
}

protected const int DEFAULT_SPOKES = 200;

protected struct Wheel {
    int spokes;
}

-main.d-
module main;

import prot;

int main() {
    Wheel wheel;
    wheel.spokes = DEFAULT_SPOKES;
    IEngine engine = new Engine;
    engine.start();

    return 0;
}
