I am assigning an Entity Composer template by Item Defintion to a Sellable Item. This shows fine in the Business Tools, but the generated Sitecore item templates have a circular dependency.

The generated template under "/sitecore/templates/Commerce/Catalog Generated/", "Drinks" in my example, contains a reference to the generated component: "/sitecore/templates/Commerce/Catalog Generated/Components/Drinks". The component has a link back to the item under "Catalog Generated", this causes a circular dependency error:

3688 14:55:33 ERROR Circular template inheritance detected in 'Drinks'
3688 14:55:33 ERROR This may be caused by explicitly assigned base id's or by the setting 'DefaultBaseTemplate' in web.config.
3688 14:55:33 ERROR Template trail: Commerce/Catalog Generated/Components/Drinks : Commerce/Catalog Generated/Components/Drinks : Commerce/Catalog Generated/Components/Drinks : ...

Did anyone have the same problem?

This is registered by Sitecore as bug #276414.

The workaround is to have different Name values for the ComposerTemplate and the EntityView that it contains.
