Shouldn't you be using a foreign key for that?
I don't see any reasonable way that pg_dump can be expected to
understand that a check constraint expresses a relationship between two
tables. The semantics of check constraints aren't right for it anyway.
All else being equal, I think the tables will be loaded in OID order,
so a possible workaround is to create the plan table first. But an
FK seems like a better answer.
