I don't think co-dependence is necessarily not clean.  In fact, in
certain circumstances, I could imagine it being cleaner than attempting
to contort modules in such a way to work around a co-dependence (or
lumping stuff together in one big module).  I think it should be allowed
(but perhaps discouraged).
