No. Classes don't exist in CSS at all. They exist in markup; CSS just refers
to them.

No, you don't need to do such things. You should not set color without
setting background, and you should not set widths in pixels excep in special
occasions.
You might find use for things like
..class1, .class2 { color: #ccc; background: white; }
..class2 { width: 15em; }
(with more sensible class names of course).

This has absolutely nothing to do with the cascade, which is the most
misunderstood concept in the Whole Wide Web.
