                         Class<T> mockedType,

Type Parameters:
T - The static type of the imposter that is created.
Parameters:
mockObject - The object that is to receive invocations forwarded from the imposter.
mockedType - The class representing the static type of the imposter.
ancilliaryTypes - Other types for the imposter. It must be possible to dynamically cast the imposter to these types. These types must all be interfaces because Java only allows single inheritance of classes.
