You can try to restructure the files, so as to get rid of
the circularity.
Or you can load the files differently. E.g. instead of top-level
`require', you can use autoloads, so that loading A doesn't load B, but
when A calls functions from B, then B gets loaded. Or instead of
autoloads, you can place a (require 'B) *inside* the functions of A that
call functions from B.
