Runnable - Avalon Framework Lifecycle interface?

[Paul Hammant]

Folks,

Is java.lang.Runnable a lifecycle interface?  Does it imply that the 
implementing component should be placed in a Thread? :

  if (comp instanceof Initializable) {
    ((Initializable comp).initialize() {
  }

  if (comp instanceof Startable) {
    ((Startable comp).start() {
  }

  if (comp instanceof Runnable) {
    Thread t = getThread((Runnable) comp);
    t.start();
  }

I ask because EOB has daemon beans that treat Runnable as a lifecycle 
interface.

- Paul
