There was an instance a while ago where circular build deps happened because
of careless placing of apps/libraries in modules. I know wheels will remember
the fun from taglib being in kdeextragear-2 :)
If I recall correctly, the consensus of opinion here on k-c-d (so 'the list
archives' is the answer to your question) was that other than relying on
kdelibs (and possibly kdebase), dependencies between core modules was
generally a bad thing. kdeaddons and the extragears being acceptable
exceptions to this rule, by their very nature.
No, I can't cite any particular document, email, person. Just look in the
archives, that's why we have them.
