If $C$ has a proper superclass $B$, then $B$ must not have $C$ as a direct -superclass. In different terms, if we construct a graph, whose vertices are -classes, and draw an edge from each class to each of its direct superclasses, -then this graph must be acyclic. In yet other terms, the `is a superclass -of' relation is a partial order on classes. +superclass.
