  Ok it depends on the nature of attribute !

    Sure ! It concerns the deep structure of the data
    structure. I do not remember if java for instance allows to
    change protection since I have not been devlopping in java
    since many years !

  OK for the customization. I think however that customization
  groupss could at least be incremented. When you implement
  child of a class it for more specialized purpose and the
  object will probably be involved in certain groups which are
  absolutely not concerned by the parent class.
