how to use the bbclass in yocto-fido

How can I use bbclass in a recipe. Is there any dependencies to use this bbclass or directly can I use? e.g

inherit autotools
inherit systemd

In what situation I need to use the above bbclasses. I've read the mega-manual but I did not understand anything. Please explain how to use bbclasses.

You inherit classes to bring their functionality to your recipe.
For example, inheriting systemd class gives you ability to set files for installation to your package(s). 

SYSTEMD_SERVICE_${PN} = "connman.service"

Or you can disable auto-start of you services by using

SYSTEMD_AUTO_ENABLE = "disable"

For every special case of using bbclass you should refer to documentation.
If you need samples of usage, just do a grep on your "meta-*" folders and you will find a lot of recipes with actual usage of class.

grep -rI "inherit autotools" ./
