The class node in the XML definition file is the component's handler, meaning it is what define its behaviour.

No way you can have 2 different behaviours at once as it is one component (You could have different behaviours, based on the scope or by filtering in your XML file though).

What you need to do is create your own class that extends the ImportContent class and in there, wherever you need it, use the other class.

My explanation is not very clear but as yours is not either, we should understand each other

Thanx for your reply. Actualy what i want to do is start a process automatically when a user imports a document in his home cabinet. I have a custom class to start a workflow. If i can that class from a separate component.xml and that is working fine. Now as i want to do import and start a process together so i need to call both class together. What should i do.

You could extend the import component and its class and from the success handling method, jump to your own component

If I'd have time, I would give you a detailed description but I don't think my boss would appreciate my time been given away for free
