+A private item was used outside of its scope.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0624
+mod inner {
+ pub struct Foo;
+
+ impl Foo {
+ fn method(&self) {}
+ }
+}
+
+let foo = inner::Foo;
+foo.method(); // error: method `method` is private
+```
+
+Two possibilities are available to solve this issue:
+
+1. Only use the item in the scope it has been defined:
+
+```
+mod inner {
+ pub struct Foo;
+
+ impl Foo {
+ fn method(&self) {}
+ }
+
+ pub fn call_method(foo: &Foo) { // We create a public function.
+ foo.method(); // Which calls the item.
+ }
+}
+
+let foo = inner::Foo;
+inner::call_method(&foo); // And since the function is public, we can call the
+ // method through it.
+```
+
+2. Make the item public:
+
+```
+mod inner {
+ pub struct Foo;
+
+ impl Foo {
+ pub fn method(&self) {} // It's now public.
+ }
+}
+
+let foo = inner::Foo;
+foo.method(); // Ok!
+```
