Java Interface and Class Hierarchy

public interface IClassUpA {
?? ?public void sayA();
}

public interface IClassUpB {
??? public void sayB();
}

public interface IClassUp extends IClassUpA, IClassUpB {
??? public void say();
}

// Do NOT implements IClassUpA here!
public class ClassUpA {
??? public void sayA() {
??? ??? System.out.println("ClassUpA sayA()");
??? }
}

// Here ClassUp implements IClassUp, which extends IClassUpA and IClassUpB.
//
// Now the ClassUp's method sayA(), which extended by ClassUpA, is the
// implementation of IClassUpA#sayA().
//
// That is to say, even though ClassUpA.sayA() is not the implementation of
// IClassUpA.sayA, it becomes the implementation of IClassUpA.sayA() by its
// descendant class ClassUp through "extends ClassUpA implements IClassUp".
//
// Something interesting and somewhat confusing for some large system.
public class ClassUp extends ClassUpA implements IClassUp {
??? // No need to implement the IClassUpA.sayA() here!
??? public void say() {
??? ??? System.out.println("ClassUp say()");
??? }
??? public void sayB() {
??? ??? System.out.println("ClassUp sayB()");
??? }
}

// Test my idea.
public class InterfaceAndClassTest {
??? public static void main(String[] args) {
??? ??? Object cu = new ClassUp();
??? ??? if (cu instanceof ClassUpA) {
??? ??? ??? ClassUpA myCU = (ClassUpA) cu;
??? ??? ??? myCU.sayA();
??? ??? }
??? }
}
// Result:
// ClassUpA sayA()
