It seems the text:
"Members declared protected can be accessed only within the class itself and by inherited and
parent classes."
should read:
"Members declared protected can be accessed only within the class itself and by *inheriting*
and parent classes."
The current wording does not seem to allow for a child class accessing the protected member of the
parent class. I've seen some posts around the net suggesting that this is what people are
getting from reading this.
Also, given that there seems to be some confusion over the word "inherited", perhaps it
should be "child", "derived", or "descendant".
