The domain of property doesn't restrict the property to that set of
classes. Instead, the domain is a set of classes that the resource is
implied to be an instance of. A property with multiple domains implies
that an instance with that property belongs to ALL of the domain
classes, in addition to any explicit rdf:type triples, and any other
classes that the instance belongs to via domains of other properties.

http://rdfweb.org/mt/foaflog/archives/000047.html explains it better.
