This seems to be correct.

The problem is still there in 0.9.8.4.

The cycle is in a single sub-directory of the main project and
involves three ML files. I don't have time to work up a good test case
right now... I tried a straight-forward three file cycle and OMake is
too smart for that.
My project is quite large and the dependency graph is non-trivial, so
it must be some more subtle feature of the graph that causes the
problem.

I'd be glad to send you any debugging output that may help.

Thanks,
Chris
