Conceptually yes, but it's not the syntax you're thinking of. When you subclass something, you're just adding it to the end of its parent's inheritance chain. Perhaps this will help explain:

class Product {
  //This is the base class. It is a parent of both Clothing and Top
}

class Clothing: Product{
  //This is the parent of Top, but it's a child of Product, so it gets all of Product's methods and properties
}

class Top: Clothing{
  //This is a child of both Clothing and Product. Therefore, it inherits all of the methods and properties of both classes
}
