Currently a circular dependency would not be possible because of the way configurations are loaded. One sql map must be loaded before the other can. So, if you attempted a circular reference it would fail during intialization because the referenced mapped statement would not be found in the configuration. So, a mapped statement would have to be in the configuration before it was referenced by the result element.
This has not been a major problem so far. But, it is a high priority change that we hope to address for the next release.
