Many programming languages do not support them, so supporting them in .proto would make it hard to support those languages.

Re: [protobuf] Circular package import problem
With protoc (the standard compiler), this should produce a simple error. Since Ken said he "got StackOverFlow exception", it sounds like he's using some other compiler (not written in C++).

Re: [protobuf] Circular package import problem
You probably need to break up your proto files to eliminate the circular dependency.. (i.e. have multiple .proto files for a package, and only import necessary .proto files).
