I have a question about modelling "subclassses the other way round".

Typically I model, classes with restrictions being described as subclasses of 
anonom. classes.
Sometimes I do the same with equivelnt classes in case of necc. & sufficient 
conditions.

But, til now, I never modelled only the way back....saying a an. Restriction 
class as subclass of a named class.
(so my LHS of x-> y is now something like [onproperty hasID, owl:hasValue=14220)

With that info I could check an instance for this code and derive it is an 
instance of my named class.

Another example: everything having a xHeight is actially an X. (same but now 
using someValuesFrom iso hasValue)

So now my questions:

-        How do I do this in topbraid (till now it was the other way round, 
defining a class and then a restriction)

-        Since equivalence is both ways I guess the way back only also makes 
sense right?

-        Hwat does it mean to be sufficient but NOT necessary? (potential 
incomplete classification?)

-        How do reasoners deal with this backward Subclassing (do they do it? 
Is it much harder for them for such complex LHS...?)

-
Thanks a lot! Michel
