include-cycle

Flag a static include("path") whose target transitively includes this file again — including a file that includes itself. Running such a file recurses without end. Every linted file on the cycle is flagged at its own include call; a file merely included twice along different paths (a diamond) is not a cycle.

A file (here example.jl) that includes itself:

include("example.jl")
