Omit the "public" keyword from your interface method declarations. That's not valid, interfaces always have public accessibility.

Defining these methods in the Base class isn't good enough either. Either let the Base class inherit "test" or move the methods to First.

Declaring the Page_Load event handler protected is fishy too, it ought to be private since overriding it isn't possible and calling it directly from a class derived from First would normally be a mistake.

Your interface declaration should look like this:

public interface test
{
    int test1(int x);
    string test1(string x);
    string test1(string x, int y);
}

Access modifiers are not valid on interface declarations:

Interfaces consist of methods, properties, events, indexers, or any combination of those four member types. An interface cannot contain constants, fields, operators, instance constructors, destructors, or types. It cannot contain static members. Interfaces members are automatically public, and they cannot include any access modifiers.
