Dunno, E_STRICT (as you can access them without notice/warning without
this flag)?

In the same manner:
<?php
error_reporting(E_STRICT);
class some {
         public $pub = 1;
         protected $prot = 2;
         private $priv = 3;

}
class any extends some {
        public $pub1 = 1;
        function dump() {
                var_dump($this);
        }
}
var_dump((array)new any());
$a = new any;
$a->dump();

?>

a var_dump should dump protected props from the parent class as they are
visible. Note the "funny" thing is that var_dump() alone do not display
the public|protected props, whatever is the context call. IMHO, that
sounds not very consistent, but only imho...
