   I figured it out.   
      
   If I want a function or a procedure to be private, I just add it to   
   the body of the package. But note: The private function must be   
   declared before any code that calls  it!   
      
   create or replace package  test   
   is   
   	FUNCTION MYPUBLICFUNC (parm in integer) return INTEGER;   
   end;   
   /   
   create or replace package body test   
   AS   
   	-- MUST Declare HERE   
                 FUNCTION MYPRIVATEFUNC (parm in integer)   
   	return integer   
   	IS   
   	BEGIN   
   		RETURN 3*parm;   
   	END;   
      
   	FUNCTION MYPUBLICFUNC (parm in integer)   
   	return integer   
   	IS   
   	BEGIN   
   		RETURN test.MYPRIVATEFUNC(parm);   
   	END;   
      
   	-- MUST NOT DECARE HERE!!   
      
      
   END;
