Equivalent of "friend" or package-level access?

I have a group of related classes, and I would like them to have
certain methods which can only be called by classes within the group.
In C++ I would use “friend”, in java I would use the “package” access
modifier. Is there a ruby equivalent?

No. You might be able to make it yourself using Ruby meta-programming.
