Hi Prachi,

Circular reference would not happen because of the special structure of tables (All tables are connected with key). Hence, Qlikview engine in this case would not require to go through any intermediate table. Although you may have same columns to query in different tables but path would remain same and that would be direct.

By just breaking this key in table 'P' and adding a column, Now there is a circular loop. Because, Now QV engine has different path to access same column.
