Consider a program with three files:
=== A.d ===
import B, C;
void main() {}
=== B.d ===
import A;
shared static this() {}
=== C.d ===
import A;
shared static this() {}

Illustrated:

+---+      +---+      +---+
|   | ---> |   | ---> |   |
| B |      | A |      | C |
|   | <--- |   | <--- |   |
+---+      +---+      +---+

B and C have static constructors.

This program is allowed to compile and run, even though there is a circular
dependency between B and C. In a practical case, it can result in a problem
when B accesses something initialized in C via something in A.
