### Friend, Package Private

[](#friend-package-private)

```
includes:
  - vendor/nish/phpstan-namespace-dependency/rules.neon

services:
  -
    factory: Nish\PHPStan\NsDepends\DependencyChecker([
      'App\Model\MyModel\InternalClassImpl': ['App\Model\MyModel\InternalClassFactory'],
      'App\Model': ['App\Controller'],
      'App\View': ['App\Controller'],
    ], [])
```

The settings are searched in order from the top, and when the key is hit, the search is stopped there.

`App\Model\MyModel\InternalClassImpl` allows dependencies from `App\Model\MyModel\InternalClassFactory`, not from `App\Controller`.
