reflect method cant set private properties

[Bradford Condon]

  /**

  public function testLoadStanza() {

    module_load_include('inc', 'tripal_chado', 'includes/TripalImporter/OBOImporter');
    $importer_private = new \OBOImporter();
    $importer = reflect($importer_private);
    $type = "term";
    $stanza = ['id' => ["PECO:0007085"]];

    $importer->default_namespace = 'trait_ontology';
    $importer->default_db = 'TO';
    $importer->cacheTermStanza($stanza, $type);

  }

i wrote this test, but default_name is set to the default ("") still. We suspect the reflect class isnt properly reflecting properties.
