If you want a soft private you should follow Sean's recommendation.
As for protected, you can do:
new Class({
initialize: function(){
},
method: function(){
}.protected()
});
If you call klass.method() from outside your class, you'll get an error.
As for private, your scheme is fine. You can also:
var Klass = (function(){
var privateVariable;
return new Class({
initialize: function(){
},
method: function(){
// privateVariable is only accessible here.
}
});
})();
