Register assembly types as self and as specific interface

by

I’m trying to register types as self and as one interface.
When I add As<ICustomScreenDef> I cannot access concrete types any more. However if I use AsImplementedInterfaces() accessing concrete type works again.
Example:

public class ScreenDef : IScreenDef {}
public class MyScreen : ScreenDef, ICustomScreenDef {}
public class ScreenGroup 
{
   public ScreenGroup(MyScreen myScreen, IEnumerable<ICustomScreenDef> customScreenDefs){}
}

Program.cs:

    builder.RegisterAssemblyTypes(screensAssembly).AssignableTo<IScreenDef>().
        OnActivating(e => {
            IScreenDef screenDef = ((IScreenDef)e.Instance);
            screenDef.Init();
        })     
        .OnActivated(
            e => {
                ...
            }
        ).AsSelf().As<ICustomScreenDef>().InstancePerDependency();

With this code ScreenGroup can’t be instantiated because myScreen is missing.
If I change
AsSelf().As<ICustomScreenDef>() to AsSelf().AsImplementedInterfaces()
everything works. How can I make this work without using AsImplementedInterfaces()?

I hope example captures potential problem since I simplified it.
