Then you've got bigger problems. You shouldn't be testing your private methods; that's poking too deeply into an object's implementation. You should only ever test things that can be called from outside an object. If a private method is an intermediate value in a computation, just test the end result. If a private method really needs to be tested separately, then it's telling you that it wants to be public.
