Java only doesn't allow multiple implementation inheritance. But it does allow 
multiple signature inheritance via interfaces.

So you can have where P and Q are interfaces:

     class A implements P;

     class B implements Q;

     class C implements P, Q;

If you want also implementation inheritance, you can use Scala, which does some 
rewriting to Java for you via delegates or other approaches.
