  Well, I think those are two different properties you can combine. 
You can have a public and final named template for instance: user
importing your stylesheet can use it, but not redefine it.  Both
concepts are related as they refine the possible use of a component,
but in different ways.

  Of course, because private things cannot be accessed at all, then
cannot be redefined neither...
