Visibility lists in Object-Z

I have a question concerning visibility lists in Object-Z, and hope that this
an appropriate place to ask.

As far as I understand it, visibility lists are used to indicate which
features of an object are available to its clients (users via instantiation),
but not which features of an object are available to its children (users
through inheritance).

Therefore, children always have access to all the features of their parents.
However, children may restrict their access via the keyword 'remove' while
inheriting a class.

My question is: Is it possible in Object-Z to designate some features as
hidden from children?

Thanks for your help, Willi
