There is no cycle between CDO, but there is cycle in DataMap between
DbEntities. AshwoodEntitySorter sorts entities that were changed, not data
objects. For entities in same circle comparison result is zero

I didn't write this code, but I recall there is at least an attempt  
there to order objects of the same type to address a resolvable cycle  
like the one you've mentioned. Not sure what the limitations are... 1  
step cycle maybe (a parent-child relationship to self), but I really  
have no idea without looking at the code.

Re: Circle references

It is possible to handle the incomplete circle situation, but in case of
complete circle it becomes very very tricky. Imagine situation
A1->B->C->A2
The correct (and only) insert order is A2, C, B, A1. But Cayenne can never
support this currently, because it is insering all records of one entity at
once (?).

Ok, so seems like my understanding is matching yours. Looks like a bug.
