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
