If there's a problem with the wizard, you should report an issue<http://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list>. I think you'll need to provide a little more detail than you've done below (i.e., exact steps to reproduce the problem). If there's a bug, ideally it will get fixed, but in the meantime, if you're doing lots of models with references and circular references, you're probably better off hand coding rather than using the wizard anyway. The wizard probably isn't robust and tested enough to build an arbitrarily complex app.
