In some clear cases it's not supported and this has not changed in CDI 1.1. However it's never been a limiting factor for me at least since i normally don't really use dependent beans or any other non normalscoped. >From the CDI 1.1 spec:
the container is required to support circularities in the bean dependency graph where at least one bean participating in every circular chain of dependencies has a normal scope, as defined in [normal_scope]. The container is not required to support circular chains of dependencies where every bean participating in the chain has a pseudo-scope. On 31 October 2013 15:01, Howard W.
