The specification of mutual access to object operations currently depends on the language used for implementation of object-oriented systems. The designer`s semantical workspace for specifying the sharing of operations is determined mainly by language attributes such as {open_quote}public{close_quote}. This dependency forces designers to step down from abstract specification to language features instead of staying at a conceptual layer for design completion. In order to cover as many aspects of privacy as possible, this paper provides an accurate concept for design support based on a classification of implementation-independent access restrictions. Using the frame-work the designer is liberated from particular language features when accomplishing his/her task. In this paper the framework is exemplified for subclass-relationships. However, its results can easily be applied to further relationships occurring in object-oriented systems.
