Details:

In the following example, function 'private_test' is in the current
directory, and function 'test_private' is an arbitrary function in the
subdirectory private/ of the current directory.

function private_test ()

  f = @ () test_private ();

  f ();

endfunction

octave:1> private_test ()
error: `test_private' undefined near line 3 column 12
error: called from:
error:    at line -1, column -1
error:   /home/olaf/tp/tp/inst/private_test.m at line 5, column 3
octave:1> 

One can workaround by setting a handle to test_private:

function private_test ()

  test_private = @ test_private;

  f = @ () test_private ();

  f ();

endfunction

octave:1> private_test ()
octave:2>
