Description:
------------
There is some "erros" with overwritten private methods in different classes.

The bug is linked to #62956, but the bug seems to be solved only for classes defined inside the same file. 

Test script:
---------------
Example 1
test.php
----
class ClassA {
	public function fun(){
		$this->myMethod(5);
	}
	private function myMethod($param){
	}
}
class ClassB extends ClassA {
	public function fun(){
		$this->myMethod();
	}
	private function myMethod(){
	}
}
---



Example 2

----
test.php
----
class ClassA {
	public function fun(){
		$this->myMethod(5);
	}

	private function myMethod($param){
	}
}
include 'test2.php'
---

test2.php
----
class ClassB extends ClassA {
	public function fun(){
		$this->myMethod();
	}
	private function myMethod(){
	}
}
---




Expected result:
----------------
The two examples should work both

Actual result:
--------------
The second example rises this error:

Strict Standards: Declaration of ClassB::myMethod() should be compatible with that of ClassA::myMethod() in /mnt/md1/data/www/test2.php on line 0

the two example both throw strict warning here. could you please check it again? 
make sure you set error_reporting to show E_STRICT.

the fix for #62956 is only for 5.4 branch.  5.3 is a very stable version, we don't 
want to make such change to it.

thanks

I've just tested with fresh PHP downloaded and compiled few minutes ago.

@goetas: Your CLI indicates that you are using PHP 5.3, but as laruence pointed out above this was only fixed in PHP 5.4 ;)

Not sure though what prevents us from fixing it in 5.3 too. Doesn't break BC after all.

@nikic You are right. I've forgot to add "./" before "php"

@goetas  5.3 didn't apply the fix at all, so it's right that E_STRCT warning shows 
up in 5.3.

@nikic it's not a big issue, and it's a engine behavior change. I assume lstrojny 
did'nt apply that fix to 5.3 for that reason.

Should it be fixed?

This appears to be fixed in current versions of PHP.

If you believe there is still an issue, please provide more information.
