If that is the case that makes a little more sense. =20

But even so, the question is surprising because we have a well =
established existing pattern with extends and implements clauses, for =
example:

	extends Parent=20
	implements Interface1, Interface2, Interface2=20
	attributes Attribute1, Attribute2, Attribute3 {}
