The Dependency Viewer highlights any connections that are part of a cycle.

A simple example of a cyclic dependency is where Project A refers to Project B, which refers back to Project A.

  2. Selecting every resource as the focus using the Dependency Viewer, check for cyclic connections. You can identify these by this connection:
    For a given resource, get the list of resources it depends on and make each of these the focus in Dependency Viewer, and check for cyclic dependencies.
