As I understand the RDF Schema Spec, the answer is yes. From
http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/CR-rdf-schema-20000327/#s2.3
| 2.3.1. rdf:type
| This indicates that a resource is a member of a class, and thus has
all the
| characteristics that are to be expected of a member of that class.
When a

class, we

<snip>
| A resource may be an instance of more than one class.
In this case, rss:image would be an instance of both rdfs:Class and
rdfs:Property, as your sample schema showed.
