That's the wrong way to go about it -- better refactor the code so that
a function gets a list of Oids instead of RangeVars, and truncates them.
ExecuteTruncate should build the list and pass it down.

Also I think all the involved relations should be opened and locked
before any of them is touched (so maybe instead of passing Oids you
should be passing Relations).

Minor stylistic gripe: this should be

static List *
BuildReferencingRelationList(List *oids, List *found_earlier)
