UOW and cyclic dependencies

[sethstone]

The UOW pattern currently doesn't support cyclic dependencies as stated in:
http://andyinthecloud.com/2013/06/09/managing-your-dml-and-transactions-with-a-unit-of-work/

Note: If you have some cyclic dependencies in your schema, you will have to either use two separate unit of work instances or simply handle this directly using DML.

If this could be handled generically in the UOW logic it could be very useful in certain situations. I also agree with Tom Gagne that it may be best to re-factor your data model to avoid this situation altogether, but if it's needed having UOW handle it would be ideal.

@sethstone Hope your well! Apologies for letting this one dangle for so long, i plan a bit of a review of internal and external ideas on the patterns in the coming weeks, so this will get some attention. In the meantime contributors are always welcome! 👍

@sethstone Just a quick update to say i'm working on an update to the patterns heading into DF14, this is on the list of supported features. Meanwhile hope all is well with you and the patterns are still serving you well! 👍

That sounds great! I'm hoping to attend this year and would like to touch
base. So far the patterns are holding up; although we're picking and
choosing more carefully what gets implemented as custom Apex.
