Hi all,

Using Mathematica 5.1.
I have two packages, let's call them A and B and they both need each
other, something like:
A.m:
BeginPackage["A`"]
Needs["B`"]

...

EndPackage[]

B.m:
BeginPackage["B`"]
Needs["A`"]

...

EndPackage[]

Can I have this kind of cyclic package dependency?
Now, my current package design is, I write the packages in a notebook
and mathematica seems to create the .m automagically. Should this be
this way? I never get to touch the .m?


Thanks, 

Catarina Dias
