Please, that is an incorrect application of the transitive property.
If...
A = 1st DNA
B = Mokuton
C = Demon control

Then the B=C relationship is purely a continuation of your own speculation. The correct analogy would be a venn diagram, in which the A circle completely encompasses the smaller B and C circles, the latter two of which, may or may not (but probably not) intersect with each other.

A = B + C
