Method Access List

This class declares an access list for the method Access attribute:

classdef MethodAccess
   methods (Access = {?ClassA, ?ClassB, ?MethodAccess})
      function listMethod(obj)
      ...
      end
   end
end

The MethodAccess class specifies the following method access:

Access to listMethod from an instance of MethodAccess by methods of the classes ClassA and ClassB.
Access to listMethod from an instance of MethodAccess by methods of subclasses of MethodAccess, because of the inclusion of MethodAccess in the access list.
Subclasses of ClassA and ClassB are allowed to define a method named listMethod, and MethodAccess is allowed to redefine listMethod. However, if MethodAccess was not in the access list, its subclasses could not redefine listMethod.
