Usually, circular dependency means something like this:

    with B;
    package A is
        ...
    end A;

    with A;
    package B is
        ...
    end B;

which is illegal in Ada.  It would be legal, however, if the "with A;"
were moved to the body of B, or the "with B;" were moved to the body of A.
