So you have both a getter method and a public variable. In that case, you cannot refer to both of them. It appears that the current engine will bind to a variable with a getter before a getter method is found, but this isn't guaranteed in the future. Instead, you should use distinct names so as to avoid confusion. This would be a poor practice anyways, as it would cause confusion to anyone reading the source code.

Could you please define "ghost variable"? If you mean, something like this: http://www-sop.inria.fr/everest/personnel/Mariela.Pavlova/ghost.pdf, then, no, there's no such support (nor is it necessary). You can use assert functions to verify your logic programmatically, though. If I'm completely up the wrong tree, please let me know so I can help you further.

You can declare a variable only once in each scope. It is possible, therefore, to define a variable x in at most three places simultaneously within a class:

 

A static variable named x, accessed by "classname.x".

A class variable named x, accessed by "this.x".

A function variable named x, accessed by "x".

 

You can not "shadow" a variable within the same function or same class.
