AFAIK, no, because you cannot unlink it:
$ mkdir Test
$ ls -CFa Test
./ ../
$ <somehow unlink> Test/.
$ ls -CFa Test
../
$ <somehow unlink> Test/..
$ ls -CFa Test
Finally, as it should be from the very beginning! (:-))
[When links are reference counted, as IMO it is in Unix, then you obviously
cannot introduce cycles without ruining the file system.]
