In our code at work I'm currently often archieving this with Delphi: 
Sometimes I change a bit in the implementation section of one of our 
core components (you don't want to know what a "big thing that does 
everything" that is... :( ) and when compiling the package Delphi claims 
that the unit references itself. I have not yet checked whether this is 
really the case (huge uses clauses... maybe I should use a tool that 
plots a nice graph of used units ^^), but compiling a second time 
usually solves this issue.
