    public class Main extends JPanel
        private PanelA a = new PanelA();
        private PanelB b = new PanelB();
        Main()
            a.setPanelB(b);
            b.setPanelA(a);
    public class PanelA extends JPanel
        private PanelB b;
        void setPanelB(PanelB b)
            this.b = b;
    public class PanelB extends JPanel
        void setPanelA(PanelA a)
            this.a = a;
        private PanelA a;
