circularity

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A circularity is said to exist if a construct such as a global variable, an attribute set, or a key is defined in terms of itself. For example, if the expression or sequence constructor specifying the value of a global variableX references a global variable Y, then the value for Ymust be computed before the value of X. A circularity exists if it is impossible to do this for all global variable definitions.
