There's a common misconception that you can't do multiple inheritance in .NET. That's not true. The constraint is put in place by the language, and not the runtime, so if a .NET language chose to allow multiple inheritance, that would be supported.

The extends keyword specifies the base type of a type. A type shall extend from exactly one other type. If no type is specified, ilasm will add an extends clause to make the type inherit from System.Object.

Not sure where you get that, but ECMA 335 (the CLI spec, not the C# spec) has
this to say about it on page 161/556:

.assembly extern mscorlib
{
  .publickeytoken = (B7 7A 5C 56 19 34 E0 89)
  .ver 4:0:0:0
}

.assembly CILTypes
{
  .ver 1:0:0:0
}

.module CILTypes.dll

.namespace MyCompany
{
  .namespace MyNameSpace
  {
    .class public interface IMyInterface {}

    .class public MyBaseClass
    {
    }

    .class public MyAnotherBaseClass
    {
    }

    .class public MyDerivedClass
      extends MyCompany.MyNameSpace.MyBaseClass
      extends MyCompany.MyNameSpace.MyNotherBaseClass
      implements MyCompany.MyNameSpace.IMyInterface
    {
    }
  }
