The "access" attribute of the <control> element specifies the accessibility of the control block.
If PUBLIC, access is not restricted in any way.
If PROTECTED, access is limited to derived components and entities in the same path.
If PATH, access is limited to entities in the same path.
If PRIVATE, access is limited to this component.
Only PUBLIC blocks may be direct run.
The "modifier" attribute of the <control> element specifies the override requirements for the control block.
If ABSTRACT, the block may not include a body. The body must be specified by non-abstract derived components. Control blocks may only be declared abstract if the component is also declared abstract. Abstract blocks may not be private. Non-abstract blocks must declare a body.
If FINAL, the control block may not be overridden by derived components.
If unspecified, then derived components can choose whether or not to override the block.
