Javac implements the so called comb-lookup [1] - supertypes are looked 
up before enclosing types. The problem with f1 is a glitch that has been 
fixed in JDK 8.

Afaik the comb rule is also supported in Eclipse. I don't think there's 
any compiler out there that think the anonymous class has two f3 members.
