Given that my class looks like this:

class Methods{

function a(){

return 'a';

}

function b(){

$this->a();

}

function c(){

$this->a();

}


}

Is it possible to ensure that function a can only be called from function b?

In the above example function c should fail. I could just include it in function b, but in the future I may want to let a() be called by some new functions (e.g. d() or e())
