Can the parent field be accessed from the child class?

Can the parent fields be accessed from the child class?

class Point {
  field $x;
  field $y;
}

class Point3D :isa(Point) {
  method foo () {
    # Can the parent field be accessed from the child class?
    print "$x\n";
  }
}

A python example: tax

class Animal():
    def __init__(self):
        self.tax = 1.1
class Dog(Animal):
    def __init__(self, value):
        super(Dog, self).__init__()
        rate = 1.2
        self.price = self.tax * (rate * value)

No. I go into the reasons why here.

Oh!

I understand the current design and I see your opinion.

However, because the almost major other programming languages are allowed to access the fields of the parent class, we should think about this again. public, private, protected

Do you hope a possible way to access the parent fields?

class Point {
  field $x :writer :reader;
  field $y :writer :reader ;
}

class Point3D :isa(Point) {
  method foo () {
    print $self->x . "\n";
  }
}
