Ok, what you're seeing is related to the order in which PHP tries to find matching symbols. In checkID() it will not use __get() because it can access the member variable directly. When display() does it the fact that $_id is private trips it up so it falls back to trying __get(). The __get() is triggered everywhere as long as a better match cannot be found.
If you really need to have both go through __get(), name the internal private vars differently and have __get() translate the external name to the internal name.
