No.  It's not clear why you would think this.
As stated earlier, "Entity inheritance is like class inheritance" and 
"The relationship is analogous to a class and its ivars".

If you have:

@interface Super : NSObject
{
   NSString *fieldOne;
}
@end

@interface Super : SubOne
{
   NSString *fieldTwo;
}
@end

then how do you access fieldOne in an instance of SubOne?
