Summary: Avoid CyclicTablesDependencyException

Initial Comment:
I found a way to avoid CyclicTablesDependencyException (maybe I'm missing some part of the problem). This could be as simple (maybe some configurable item), to split the dataset in two datasets. 

The first will do the inserts, having problematic fields in null. 
The second dataset will then update the records, defining dependencies according to our needs. 
(This is the natural way I do this stuff when I have to insert cyclic data manually)

Message:
Your approach is correct, the problem would be to do it automatically. We
have an implementation strategy for dbUnit 3 using EL, but we don't feel it
practical for dbUnit 2 and dbUnit 3 is in it's early development stage.
Unless you can provide a patch and relative unit tests I'll have to close
this as not applicable.
