Is there any problem with having a class in OWL which is a subclass of two different classes?

    Why should it be a "problem"? Note, having two superclasses is the same as a single subClassOf relation to the intersection. That is exactly the definition of the formal semantics of OWL. For example, `A SubClassOf B` and `A SubClassOf C` is equivalent to the axiom `A SubClassOf (B and C)` – UninformedUser Dec 19 '17 at 15:20
