Hi Mark, I do not see a reason to use it the way you do, however, due to design limitations it might make sense. As Maurice pointed out, if this interface is not inherited and thus implemented on the superclass and you want to call it in that overriden function, there is no other way. And consider that you'd have to call this function anyway, if you want to add the functionality that foo() provides into the overriden function. Even without making it required public API, enforced by an interface.
