Private items cannot be publicly re-exported. This error indicates that you attempted to `pub use` a type or value that was not itself public. Erroneous code example: ```compile_fail,E0364 mod a { fn foo() {} mod a { pub use super::foo; // error! } } ``` The solution to this problem is to ensure that the items that you are re-exporting are themselves marked with `pub`: ``` mod a { pub fn foo() {} // ok! mod a { pub use super::foo; } } ``` See the [Use Declarations][use-declarations] section of the reference for more information on this topic.
