Hi,

Well, you are correct that in the scripted form there is currently no 
syntax for this, but there are two solutions:

1) In version 2.x you should be able to write a regular Java class 
using standard Java syntax:

class MyHouse implements Door, Window { ... }

But bsh 2.x is still in beta.

2) There is a mechanism for getting the interface not documented well, 
using a 'this' reference.   e..g

// script
method1() { }
method2() { }
interface = this.getInterface( new Class[] { i1.class, i2.class } );

The Interpreter should have the new getInterface() method as well at 
some point.  I'm not sure what syntax we'd use to represent this in the 
scripted form.
