I think the best solution for private variables is just treating them as private. The convention you use for denoting a private variable could help you.

I basically treat all variables as private / local, and use clearly-defined functions to modify them.

Yea I do it about the same way. I see private variables as more of a way of making the script idiot-proof so people other than yourself don't mess it up.

Well if you used thisr. to reference private variables in the object, then what about when you're in a with (object) {} block and want to get a private variable from the calling object? Normal variables would be accessed by thiso. but you would need something thisor. for the private variables of the parent object and that is just unnecessary.

This circumvents the privacy.

The original object is still executing the code, not the object in the with () block, so its not circumventing it.

I remember Stefan saying quite along time ago that something like thisr. would not be such a good idea so any argument is pointless.

thisor.var = thisr.var; or thisr.var = thisor.var; in a with block would be circumventing it.

e: I think you may have misunderstood Stefan, too.
The last post wasn't meant to single you out, but after I posted, I realized how much of a pain it would have been to get my point understood.
