I let you guy work on this with pleasure.

Sometimes ago, I read that It could be possible to do this with a two
phases link
as explained here:
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/30952908/how-to-create-a-lib-file-to-use-for-circular-dependencies.aspx
(one other ref is
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/362830/circular-dependencies-between-dlls-with-visual-studio)
but the idea just scares me...

I support you and I'll try to help, but unfortunately I won't have
time to dig into this with you for now.
