Assuming that Class 1,2,3 are in package pkg and all facades implement the
Interface Facade (just to make it easy), youi want something like:

pointcut facade(): this(Facade); //not within(Facade) cause that would also
match inner classes, right?
pointcut callToNonPrivateMethodsOnPkg(): call(!private pkg.*.*(..));
pointcut forbiddenCalls(): callToNonPrivateMethodsOnPkg() && facade();

Didn't test it but should work kind of like this...
