class A private IP range (10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255) class A public IP range (1.0.0.0 to 127.0.0.0)

In these 2 public and private IP ranges, the private IP range is also included into the public range, right? because 10.x.x.x is in between the public IP range (1.0.0.0 to 127.0.0.0). Why is that?

In this case, isn't it a problem that including one IP into both private and public ranges.

Please don't mention about the IP classes here because that is not what I am asking. I just need to know why same IPs are used in both public and private ranges.

Any clarification would be really appretiated.

Classful networking/subnetting is no longer relevant in real world use. Class based subnetting (Class A, B, C, etc.) have no meaning in actual network deployments and are interesting only as historical reference and as naming reference. People still say 'Class C' when they mean /24. For more information see CIDR and Classless networking.
