I'm with chaos (Score:1)

by jarich (4909)

I'm not much of a Stackoverflow user. However it doesn't strike me as a place designed to handle opinion-based questions. chaos' suggested rewrite:
what reasons are there to use protected members and/or to avoid them?

seems a little better, but I think the question still needs to be more detailed. Perhaps something along the lines of:
I have a class (X) and its child class (X::Y). X has a variable Z for some purpose. It doesn't make sense (for some reason) to make Z an attribute of X::Y but X::Y still
