Right there you have a potential problem.  Unless you make those imports 
conditional, you have an import loop, which can be a minor problem, or a 
big one.

Whenever you find loops in the import call tree, please break them.  The 
best way is to move the interdependencies into yet another module, and 
let both A and B import that one.
