One solution that has come to mind is to remove any Action stuff from 
NamedWholes and move it to another class that works with Actions and 
NamedWholes. Although this would most likely solve the circular reference 
issue, it would also decouple an operation (i.e. a function) on NamedWholes 
from that class to a helper class, which doesn't seem very object oriented.

I am interested in hearing other ideas.
