Depending on the method(s) and where they're used elsewhere, it could go either
way IMO.

If you're just using a small number of methods from typaA in subtypeC2 then I'd
just annotate them with a #@staticmethod decorator, otherwise I'd try multiple
inheritance. The same rules apply for Cheetah multiple inheritance as in
Python, so you want to make sure that typaA isn't squashing a method in typeC
and vice versa

No prob ;)
