Is it possible to create packages of related classes and have the same <code>protected</code> and <code>private</code> fields which are visible only to classes from within the same package? Basically, the same type of packages as what Java has. Is it possible?

Nope. PHP has no package or friend-class support.

Packages in PHP?

Right now, there is no concept of package.

However, PHP 5.3 is going to introduce namespaces. I'm not sure about how that will affect visibility between classes.
