Software Component Dependencies PI 7.1

Question

Hi experts,
I'm work with SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1 and I have two scenarios with ccBPM to implement an interface from SCV B to SCV A, and another interface from SCV B to SCV A.
For the visibility of metadata between SCV have defined a dependency in SCV A from SCV B. In this way there is no problem to implement BPM Service Interfaces in the SCV A. But now I need to define the dependency of SCV B from SVC A, to implement BPM services interfaces of the SCV B.
The problem when defining the dependence of the SVC B for SVC A the following error message:
Creating dependency from //SXD061/sld/active:SAP_SoftwareComponent.ElementTypeID="01200615320200007523",Name="SAP_APPL",Vendor="sap.com",Version="600" to //SXD061/sld/active:SAP_SoftwareComponent.ElementTypeID="0",Name="SIP",Vendor="roca",Version="2.0" of type InstallationTime would create a circle. Circular dependencies are not allowed.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jose.

Hi Patrek,
How could redesign the SWC structures?
My scenario is:
(SWC A is 3rt Party system)
(SWC B is SAP ERP system)
1 - Create Sales Order from SWC A to SWC B with ccBPM (file to BAPI, with file for acknowledge from BAPI response). By convention, the integration process developed in the destination SWC.
--> For not duplicate the metadata in SWC B, define SWC dependecy with SWC A. Perfect, don't create data type's and message type's in SWC B.
2 - Create Invoice from SWC B to SWC A with RFC Lookup in mapping. By convention, the mapping developed in the destination SWC.
--> For not duplicate the metadata in SWC A, define SWC dependency with SWC B... Bad, "Circular dependencies are not allowed". The workaround is import RFC in SWC A that is not SAP System.
I would like to find a consistent organization and that facilitate the maintenance, but I could not. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jose.
