GetProperties() to return all properties for an interface inheritance hierarchy

Question

Assuming the following hypothetical inheritance hierarchy:

public interface IA
{
  int ID { get; set; }
}

public interface IB : IA
{
  string Name { get; se

I've tweaked @Marc Gravel's example code into a useful extension method encapsulates both classes and interfaces. It also add's the interface properties first which I believe is the expected behaviour.

public static PropertyInfo[] GetPublicProperties(this Type type)
{
    if (type.IsInterface)
    {
        var propertyInfos = new List();

        var considered = new List();
        var queue = new Queue();
        considered.Add(type);
        queue.Enqueue(type);
        while (queue.Count > 0)
        {
            var subType = queue.Dequeue();
            foreach (var subInterface in subType.GetInterfaces())
            {
                if (considered.Contains(subInterface)) continue;

                considered.Add(subInterface);
                queue.Enqueue(subInterface);
            }

            var typeProperties = subType.GetProperties(
                BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy 
                | BindingFlags.Public 
                | BindingFlags.Instance);

            var newPropertyInfos = typeProperties
                .Where(x => !propertyInfos.Contains(x));

            propertyInfos.InsertRange(0, newPropertyInfos);
        }

        return propertyInfos.ToArray();
    }

    return type.GetProperties(BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy
        | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);
}
