Description
I have two models, each with a foreign key or m2m relationship to the other. When I try to validate my project these two apps throw errors, saying that the model referenced as the foreign key does not exist. I think I uderstand why things work this way, but some way of allowing this would be good, as the situation I am presented with truly requires this functionality. I need to be able to create "people" records with a list of affiliated "places", as well as specify a primary contact from "people" for each "place". Thanks.

If this is a question, it should be directed at the django-users mailing list. If you think you have actually found a bug, still ask around on django users, but provide an complete test case (i.e., a model that fails validation), not just some vague reference to something that might be a problem.
