No, much simpler than that..

---
Root>>>#children
    ^Array with: self menuComponent with: self contentComponent


Stage1>>>#children
    ^Array with: Stage2 instance

Stage2>>>#children
    ^Array with: Stage1 instance

When #childrenDo: loop starts, it will perform a never ending loop.
However, if I don't include the above referencing, the user receives an
error "Component not registered for callback"
My #renderContentOn: method for the two Stage components contains:

html anchor callback: [root content: StageX instance]; with: 'click here'

Other issue (1. on the list) is the maintenance of the instances, I'm
not happy with using singletons as this could (and probably will)
generate cross-session changes.
