Detection of circular dependencies is not the responsibility of any
classloader, let alone a Java application such as Tomcat.  Such
determination is done by the core JVM.

Neither of your examples involves a true circular dependency, and they
both work fine for me on JDK 1.5 and 1.6.  Perhaps you can supply a real
example.
