Description

$ cat test.pp
class foo inherits bar { }
class bar inherits foo { }
include foo

$ puppet apply test.pp
stack level too deep at /Users/nicklewis/puppet/puppet/test.pp:3 on node nick-lewiss-macbook-pro.local

This behavior is also present in 0.25 and also happens if a class inherits from itself.

class test::foo inherits foo { }

also causes this FWIW (“inherits ::foo” is okay)
