No. Ask yourself if you want to expose all the top-level widget's methods. If you don't, then use a composite. For example, if you are making a labelled textbox by adding a label and a text box to a VerticalPanel, do you really want the user able to add more things to the VP, to be able to clear the widgets out of it etc? If you are making a NumbersOnlyTextBox out of a textbox, you probably *do* want to expose all the normal methods.
