In TBC, user interface facilitates you defining classes as a sub of owl:Thing. That is, of course, unless you decide to choose something else as a parent, in which case there is absolutely no need to say that it is also a sub of owl:Thing.
I don't typically use top properties and believe it is uncommon for people to do so. Thus, it is your choice. Both of these things are implicitly inferable.
