I forgot to say that Table, Square and SquareTable are third party classes. I have no control on them. My task is to add preconditions and postconditions and not to break LSP.

Java takes the view that if T can be cast to U, and (U)someT.member exists, it should be the same as someT.member. I can see that such a rule simplifies the framework design, but at the expense of expressiveness; in a sense, the real problem is interfaces with insufficiently specific names (e.g. if renderableTable had a members getNumberOfColumns and getGraphicalWidth, there would be no conflict) but in many cases things like getWidth are easier to read than getGraphicalWidth.
