Yep! Good solution.

Be aware that this will only work if both modules have fully executed
before the references are actually needed. Usually not a problem, but
if you have code that runs at top-level that needs to refer to the
other module (as opposed to simply defining classes and methods, where
those methods are going to refer to the other module when they get
called), it might not work. But that's no different from any other
circular dependency.
