The private variables can be accessed only in the block in which they have been declared.

I understand your question to be pertaining to private variables w/in a class and not local variables (i.e. variables declared w/in a method). That said, a private variable may be accessed by constructors and methods declared w/in the class AND may also be accessed by inner classes defined w/in the class.
