Instead you're better off creating an abstract ResourceController class, and having your concrete resource classes extend that.
The Slevomat coding standard for PHP Codesniffer has a https://github.com/slevomat/coding-standard/blob/master/doc/classes.md#slevomatcodingstandardclassesrequireabstractorfinal- that enforces that every class must be abstract or final.
Explicitly declaring all classes I can as either abstract or final has greatly improved the quality of my code.
