I don't have time to finish this up now, but some notes to self:

Cobra does a _prepLibraryBox on "AssemblyFileSet" which calls .bindInh which calls .bindInh on "FileSet" which does:

for box in .nestedBoxes, box.bindInh

Which does .bindInh on "Include" which does .bindBase which does:

possible = _baseNode.realType

which eventually does:

class ClrTypeProxy
...
declaringType = _realType(clrType.declaringType to !)
declaringType.bindInh  # trigger scanning the clr type if needed

which leads to the circularity.

Looking in Reflector, the FileSet class has two nested classes, Include and Exclude. Include inherits from Exclude and the resolution of that inheritance triggers a .bindInh on the declaring class (FileSet) which was already in .bindInh.

Should be able to reproduce this in a small example using C# and get the same error. (Cobra doesn't support declaring nested classes yet.) Need this for the regression test suite.
