Nonnested classes can or can't be marked protected or final?

Question

Why couldn't I do this all in the same file?
public class Test2 extends Test1
runMyFunc();
protected class Test1
void runmyFunc() { //do something cool }
Doesn't the protected modifier allow all subclasses within the same package
to access its methods? Does the absence of a package declaration (there
isn't meant to be one in this example) indicate that these two classes are not
in the same package? I'd figure that they'd both be in the default package.
Thanks

Well, there is no such thing as a protected modifier for (non-inner) classes.
A (non-inner) class is either public or not (giving it default or package-private access). So the following code will compile: public class Test2 extends Tes1
  // whatever you want
class Test1
  // whatever you want
}
