What do you see as the access for a private class:

private class MyClass {

}

what conditions would you have to meet to be able to instantiate objects of this class?

For a protected class

protected class MyProtectedClass {
}

do you want to make a class that cannot be instantiated, but only derived from? I believe that is achieved by declaring a class abstract. Or do you have some other usage for a protected class?

I'd like to add my interpretation:

When you use the protected access modifier, it implies that you can also do everything that the private accessor allows, so there is no need to specify both. In fact, as you said in your question, you can't specify both.

one class of level top alone is allowed public or default. Now why you would create one class of top of level with these modificadores? I do not see logical in this. These cited modificadores are applied only the members of a classroom.
