At times, I've wished that Java had automatic delegation (composition) in 
addition to inheritance and interface implementation, where the compiler 
automatically adds the public methods and fields from delegated objects, except 
when there's a conflict of names. Something like this, maybe:


public class ClassAlfa {
  public void alfaMethod( ) { ... }
  public void sharedMethod( ) { ... }
  public void anotherSharedMethod( ) { ... }
}

public class ClassBeta {
  public void betaMethod( ) { ... }
  public void sharedMethod( ) { ... }
  public void anotherSharedMethod( ) { ... }
}


public class Delegator {
  private delegate ClassAlfa ALFA;
  private delegate ClassBeta BETA;

  public void sharedMethod( ) {
    ALFA.sharedMethod( );
  }

  public void anotherSharedMethod( ) {
    ALFA.sharedMethod( );
    BETA.sharedMethod( );
  }
}

public class Example {
  public static void main( String[] args ) {
    private Delegator delegator;

    delegator.alfaMethod( );
    delegator.betaMethod( );
    delegator.sharedMethod( );
    delegator.anotherSharedMethod( );
  }
}
