Parameters

parentInterface	The "parent" interface to start the search from
maxInterfaces	You can interpret this value as a maximum "child/ancestor" depth. It checks how many interfaces the current traversed interface contains/ implements

Returns: A list of the found "child" Type interfaces

Parameters

parentInterface	The "parent" interface to start the search from
maxInterfaces	You can interpret this value as a maximum "child/ancestor" depth. It checks how many interfaces the current traversed interface contains/ implements

Returns: A list of the found "child" Type interfaces
