Manage cyclic precedents relationship in deploying application

Hi 

Ler's say i want to create a common application where i would like to put all common parent groups for all the other appian applications and other common stuff.

When i create a group in an another application with parent group in the common application there is a cyclic precedents relationship between the two groups (the parent group relays on member group and the member group relays  on parent group).

The only way i found to deploy common application first without receive the warning of "missing precedents" is to assing rule membership by rule.

I would like to know if there is a best practice in order to manage those kind of application design concerns. 

I'm a java developer and for me it's really odd behaviour this cyclic relationship by desgin

Thanks a lot in advance
