It is not possible for the general case with multiple inheritance and auxiliary object classes. You cannot sort them linearly in a unique way. Besides that an object does not need to store all objectclasses up to 'top'. It is perfectly legal for an inetOrgPerson to only have objectclass: inetOrgPerson So you need to walk through the schema anyway to be on the safe side.
