As Wes says it seems you simply want lazy instantiation of X rather than
lazy definition of X or interface Y (which isn't supported by Java unless
you use Hot Code Replace). I presume you are concerned about footprint.
Using lazy instantiation you only incur the additional cost of the
reference to X in each class that implements the interface. The cost of
implementing the interface is fixed i.e. not dependent on the number of
instances. The lifetime of X is tied to that of A and will be garbage
collected at the same time.
