The term "circular dependency"[1] has a precise meaning which isn't related with the MVC 
pattern's purpose.

The main motivation for the MVC pattern is to decouple the data from its presentation, and vice-
versa, in order to simplify the job of implementing and reimplementing ways to represent data 
through a GUI.  Any benefit in breaking any circular dependency which might arise is only a nice 
side-effect of the whole ordeal.
