I'm coming late to this thread, but then couldn't you set things up in an OO
paradigm and have the accesssible functions(methods) check the userid and
control access that way? So if the package is a ccessible by anyone, and
function A is the one with no external access, build in functions B, C, & D
that access the functionality of function A like public methods in OO. Then
include in B,C,&D a check against the userid for access to function A.
Maybe I'm missing something, and it does seem like a bit of work, but it
makes sense to me.

Ian,
You are 100% correct, but then that program unit becomes internal to the
package and can only be accessed by other program units in that package.
