Please see "Namespace question: Interfaces" in the typo3.teams.core List
(thread initiated by me on 4.9.2012) where I asked the same question.

There is a "compatibility layer" which is meant to translate these kind
of scenarios transparently.

There was an PHP <5.2.7 issue with it which was apparently solved with
http://forge.typo3.org/issues/40653.

Are you getting a "Fatal Error" with this? Or is there anything not
working as expected?

Cheers,
Ernesto
