No, there's no access control, just precedence. Any module can access
facts in any other module, but a module can access facts in any other
module (except MAIN) only by qualifying the facts with the name of
the other module. Any module can access facts in MAIN either
explicitly by using MAIN, or implicitly by lookup.
Facts based on templates defined in MAIN are like "global variables".
To achieve something along the lines of what you're looking for,
don't declare templates in MAIN, and then prohibit, by style guide,
explicitly qualifying the template names.

(Application: in an agent-based model, I wish to restrict the
rules, that represent the behavior and perception of an agent, from
accessing environment facts to which an agent should not have
visibility, according to the model.)
