The visibility of an import is always shown explicitly by placing the keyword private, protected, or public before the import declaration.

An Expose is an Import of Memberships into a ViewUsage that provide the Elements to be included in a view. Visibility is always ignored for an Expose (i.e., isImportAll = true).
An Expose always imports all Elements, regardless of visibility (isImportAll = true).
An Expose always has protected visibility.
In general, declaring an element within the body of a namespace denotes that the element is an owned member of the namespace—that is, that there is an owning membership relationship between the namespace and the member element.
