I just tried a test comparing a Function to a Private Function with this code:
<%
Option Explicit
dim X1
X1 = 9
Private Function RealTest(here)
RealTest = here + X1
End Function
Response.Write "The answer is " & RealTest(10)
%>
I get "The answer is 19". If the function is defined as private, shouldn't I have gotten
an error in the function that states that X1 is undefined? 7 5090

Why should you? The function is contained in the page being executed so it
is definitely within scope ...

I thought that, if a variable is defined outside of the Private function, then it
doesn't exist inside the function???
What, then, is the difference between a Private Function and a non-private function?

Outside of a class the Private/Public qualifierto a Function it of no
consequence.
These prefixes define whether code external to module in which the function
is declared has the ability to call the function. Since an ASP script such
as you presented it just one big 'module' it doesn't matter whether the
functions are declared with private or public.
The prefixes do not impact variables with in the function. All variable
declared within a function are 'private' (the proper term is 'Local') to the
function. All variables declared outside of a function are available to all
code inside and outside of functions.
Public/Private only become useful inside Class definitions giving control
over which functions are actually callable by code outside the class and
which can only be used by code inside the class.

No, the Private keyword defines where the _function_ is available. The
variable was delared at the Page (module) level so it is available to all
code within the Page's scope. it is not available to any code running
outside the Page's scope. In ASP, this situation is unlikely unless you are
using classes.
It is the opposite that is true: if you declare a variable within a function
or sub, the variable is is only visible within the scope of the function or
sub. This code will cause the "undefined" error:
<%
option explicit
Function test()
Dim x1
x1=test
End Function
test
response.write x1
%>
Incidently, these keywords (Public|Private |etc.) can be used when declaring
variables, but as Anthony explains, in vbscript, especially when used in ASP
pages, there really is little point to using them.
What, then, is the difference between a Private Function and a
non-private function? (um, only one joke per reply, please...)
In vbscript, there really is no difference unless you are using classes, as
Anthony explains.

Victor,
The private function is within the scope of the variable X1, so it will be
included. Only outside of the scope (in classes) would you find X1 not
producing the same results.
However, if you define X1 again in the function, it will create a new
instance of it, and disregard the X1 of the higher level within that
function.

Hi,
I want a few of my class to overload from a base class, where the
base class contains common functionality. This is to avoid repetition
of code, and may be reducing amount of code in binary, not to get
polymorphic behavior.
None of them has virtual methods, and are self contained (no
destructor at all) thus do not have a chance to have memory error.
Thus the derived classes has additional functionality, not additional
data.
