PROTECTED attribute in derived types?

Fortran 2003 allows some components of a drived type to be PUBLIC and others PRIVATE (although, I believe, this feature hasn't been implemented in IVF yet). Is it also the case for PROTECTED attribute? Can one declare some derived-type components PRIVATE (or PUBLIC) and the rest PROTECTED?

Thanks,
Jon

Jon,

I might be (very) wrong but as far as I know the standard reads something along the lines:

The PROTECTED attribute imposes limitations on the usage of module entities. If an object has the PROTECTED attribute, all of its subobjects have the PROTECTED attribute.

So you can't make derived-type component protected.
