1. in Cake conventions, function prefixed with __ is private, so
you're correct
2. if you need to access a function from several controllers, don't
put it in a specific one, move it to app_controller.php.
Since all your controllers extend AppController, $this-
>__validateLogin() is OK
IMHO a validateLogin() function is more in a Model than in a
Constroller, but depends of what you're doing in it.
3. just override beforeFilter in your controller, and you'll have
access to controller's variables with $this.
Maybe I don't understand well your question here...
