Do views need to list properties of implemented views?

If I have view B which implements view A, in the definition of view B do I need to list the properties (e.g. container mappings) that are “inherited” from A? I noticed that if I don’t list them, this works fine the first time when view B is created (I can see the inherited properties automatically included), but if I try to update view B (even if nothing changes) the call fails saying that there is a change in the property list and the version needs to be changed. I’m assuming this is because the inherited properties are missing from the definition. Is this behavior by design and I have to explicitly list the properties, or would it be considered a defect?
