Yes that means that every project depends on the every other project and the system cannot figure out which to build first and maintain the proper relationships. We have seen that behavior with 1.1-beta2 and it is the correct behavior. This is similar to a circular dependency when building java projects. You just need one project that can be built first that does not have a relationship to a project that points back to itself.
