I was aware of these forms before you mentioned them first time in this 
discussion.

I am sorry, but it is far from a complete example. I still have no idea 
how to combine it in a such way that there would be no problem to 
compile and load files, but attempt to create build dependencies would 
fail due to a cycle.

Perhaps editing some Emacs files you will notice the pattern you are 
writing about. I will be grateful if you provide names of files 
demonstrating cyclic dependency issue.
