Sorry for my prevoius answer. I just don't understand your question.

I changed your code like this:

class Foo
 def public_m
  private_m # <=
 end

 def Foo.static_m
   puts "static"
 end

 def self.static2_m
   puts "static 2"
 end

 private 
 def private_m
  puts 'Hello'
 end
end

Foo.new.public_m
Foo.static_m
Foo.static2_m

Here is a call of instance method:

 def public_m
  private_m # <=
 end

Here are a call of class methods:

 def Foo.static_m
   puts "static"
 end

 def self.static2_m
   puts "static 2"
 end

Foo.static_m
Foo.static2_m
