I guess. My experience has been that it's more a case with, for lack of a better term, "old school" OOP. SOLID helps a lot with that sort of thing. Avoiding inheritance like the plague helps a lot. I slightly hate that I said old school, because Smalltalk-style tell-don't-ask helps a lot. I think that the idiomatic ways of structuring code in the ML family of languages help the most, because they tend to be pretty radical about limiting scope of visibility. But they also tend to make more of a muddle of things than they're worth in algol-style languages.
