A note that this documentation glosses over; there are two different forced access metadatas:

• @:access(Target) allows you to access any private variables on the Target within the proceeding class or method.
• @:privateAccess(Target) allows you to access any private variables on the Target within the proceeding expression.

So if you want to access a single variable within the Target in a single line, you probably want to use @:privateAccess just before you perform the actual access. If you want to access multiple variables or you want to perform access multiple times, especially if it's across several methods within a class, you should put @:access at the top of the method or at the top of the module.

EDIT: Also, if you're having trouble, try using the fully qualified name inside the metadata instead of just the class name (so include the package, and the module name if that is different).
