Protected External Methods

As a coding standard, our lab uses external methods as a way of maintaining our modular code. However, I've found that MATLAB doesn't have a way to make the Access for external methods protected. I've found that I can make external methods private by adding a /private/ folder to the class folder, so I was wondering if there was a 'protected' equivalent.

Basically, inside the class definition create a methods block with properties Acess = protected. Inside that block add the function footprint.
methods (Access = protected)
[a,b,c]=protectedmethod(x,y,z);
end
Then create a seperate m file in the root class directory named protectedmethod with the header
function [d,e,f]=protectedmethod(u,v,w)
