Sure, as long as you hit your base case and the constructor actually returns for the last one you create you'll be fine. Just to test and prove the logic to yourself, create a static class variable and decrement it each time you create a new one, check it in the constructor if its > 0 declare a new instance and that will be your base case. You should have a hierarchical component where each instance has one child, that has a child....with a depth equal to whatever your static var was initialized to.
