The theory for the private access in a module goes that likely the same author wrote all the code in that module, so he should understand what the code is supposed to do and have free access to anything. It seems to work pretty well in practice (at least for me anyway).
The same logic applies in languages of the module/oberon line (which have a good reputation afaik for their module system). Encapsulation plays at the module level. Eg in Oberon all is visible inside a module; the difference is exported/public thingies are marked (with '*'), instead of the opposite in D (which is in my view more like a dynamic language on this point).
