I do not think the "__implements__" does anything beside
a bit of documentation and support for a lookup by interface
during factory lookup (only used to create indexes, AFAIK)

It does not control schema extension...


Instead, you would define a new Archetype class
and use

  class MyNewATClass(BaseClass1, BaseClass2, ...):

    schema = schema1 + schema2 + ... + Schema(...)

The "schema_i" can be schemas from base classes or from somewhere
else.
