Protected vs Internal

Just a remind for myself

1. protected:
   

   [...] member is accessible from within the class in which it is declared, and from within any class derived from the class that declared this member.
   A protected member of a base class is accessible in a derived class only if the access takes place through the derived class type.

2. internal
   

   Internal members are accessible only within files in the same assembly.

3. protected internal means protected OR internal
4. protected AND internal?
