Circular dependencies

I have Eclipse for JEE with Libra installed. 
I have 3 OSGI(+Dynamic Web Module Facet) bundles in my Eclipse workspace. The first(let's name it CORE) imports the other 2(DB and MVC) + 3 more packs. DB imports apache-commons-configurations(CORE too), MVC has not any imports. All bundles i need are in the Target platform - Gemini(with "dep" included), apache-commons, etc.

When I try to add my CORE bundle to Equinox Runtime 3.6+ Instance just to start and test there is the circular dependencies, that are not really in the MANIFEST.

In the MANIFEST these 2 packs do not import each others. When I try to add only the first bundle(CORE) to the Runtime, eclipse crashes with "stack overflow". In the server there are infinite dependencies in the DB and MVC bundles between them and I can not continue my work.So, restart. And "stack overflow" again. When I remove the imports from the CORE I can add all 3 bundles without any problem and the runtime starts, CORE bundle is unusable(of course). I tried to create OSGI launcher from Run->Run Configurations. There everything works, but the problem is that Equinox OSGI Runtime can refresh(redeploy) my bundles without need to be restarted, but in the launcher I can not do this.
