Details:

Code to reproduce issue from terminal:


>> f = fopen('./foo.m','wt');
>> fdisp (f,'function foo');
>> fdisp (f,'  baz;');
>> fdisp (f,'endfunction');
>> fclose(f);
>> mkdir private;
>> f = fopen('./private/baz.m','wt');
>> fdisp (f,'function baz');
>> fdisp (f,'  disp(''Hello from private baz'');');
>> fdisp (f,'endfunction');
>> fclose(f);
>> foo
error: 'baz' undefined near line 2 column 3
error: called from
    foo at line 2 column 3
>> exit
% restart octave (in same directory)
>> foo
Hello from private baz


A similar bug exists where newly defined functions within a namespace are
inaccessible from that namespace until a restart of an octave session. This is
likely the same issue under the hood, but I will submit a separate bug report
for this and link to it above.
