[VELOCITY-761] Can not reference a property declared in a super-interface and implemented in a non-public class

Description

Consider the following:

public interface MyUser extends java.security.Principal

{ String getEmailAddress(); }

class MyUserImpl implements MyUser {
public String getName()

{ ... }
public String getEmailAddress() { ... }

}

If I put a MyUserImpl in my Velocity context, $user.emailAddress will resolve, but $user.name will not.

This is a problem with ClassMap#createMethodCache(). It ignores methods declared on the MyUserImpl class because the class is non-public, and it only looks up one level in the Interface hierarchy for methods defined on interfaces: so it will go up as far as the MyUser interface but not as far as the Principal interface.
