Is it possible to have Circular dependency between Records in Salesforce ?

Question

Salesforce has many relationship types. This reference ( ) suggests that circular dependency will not be supported for Records within same Object. However, self-relationships as documented here ( ) suggests that it is possible. So the question is, is such circular dependency possible ? Also, is circular dependency possible across Records of different Objects (especially with Custom Objects) ?

The link you provided suggests that it is possible. Thanks for this. I also tried creating 2 Lookup relationship between 2 custom Objects and I was able to because Lookup relations are not strict as compared to Master-Detail relationship. However, I am now wondering if there can by a cycle between Records of same object. i.e. can Hierarchical relationship be cyclic ?
