Events in interfaces are connected across different inheriting subtypes

Summary

When inheriting an interface with an event, all subtypes with that interface will treat the event as if its connected between them. See the below example on how to reproduce

Steps to Reproduce

Use the following code to reproduce the issue, creating a blank entity for each component subtype.

using { /Verse.org/SceneGraph }
using { /Verse.org/Simulation }

event_interface := interface:

Event<public> : event() = event(){}

event_component_1 := class<final_super>(event_interface, component):

Event <override> : event() = event(){}

OnSimulate<override>()<suspends>:void=
    branch:
        Event.Await()
        Print("Event 1 fired!")
    Sleep(1.0)
    Print("Firing Event 1")
    Event.Signal()

event_component_2 := class<final_super>(event_interface, component):

Event <override> : event() = event(){}

OnSimulate<override>()<suspends>:void=
    branch:
        Event.Await()
        Print("Event 2 fired!")
    Sleep(5.0)
    Print("Firing Event 2")
    Event.Signal()

Expected Result

The event should not be fired for the event_component_2 class until the 5 seconds have elapsed in its OnSimulate function.

Observed Result

When the event_component_1 class fires its event after 1 second the event_component_2 class behaves as if its inherited event was also fired

NOTE: You can fix this issue by overriding the event in subtype classes
