While the compiler does manage most circular dependancies, some cases still
cannot be compiled.

For instance, with the attached circ-{a,b,c}.scm the compilation of b fails
with:

% GUILE_LOAD_PATH=. guile-tools compile -Warity-mismatch -Wformat -Wunused-variable -Wduplicate-case-datum -Wbad-case-datum -o circ-b.go circ-b.scm

Note that it compiles if you remove (circ-c) from used-modules in circ-a.scm.
