If that is the case there is no way around it. All I am saying you can start with an 'optimistic' importer and if that fails go back to resolving the circular depency. I.e., opt for the simple resolution first. Arguably a dependency is not circular if versions differ. But that may be a semantic argument ;) Pj.
