Get "Cyclic references among variables" in 0.0.11

[DanielSvanstrom]

Moving along. I have reduced this to a basic example.

Error:
Errors produced by compilation of main2.less
ERROR 8:9 Cyclic references among variables: @varc (8:9) -> @vara (3:16) -> @varc (4:8)
Could not compile the file main2.less

main2.less:
@vara: 0px;
@varb: 0px;
@varc: @varb + @vara;
@vara: @varb + @vara;

logo

{
width: @varc;
}

Less language treats variables in a bit unusual way - if you define the same variable nultiple times within the same scope, only the last definition is used. All previous definitions are ignored.

First two lines in the above example are ignored:

@varA: 0px; // ignored line
@varB: 0px; // ignored line
@varC: @varB + @varA;
@varA: @varB + @varA;

#logo
{
  width: @varC;
}

The variable varA on the line 4 effectively references itself. It is impossible to evaluate it and an error is thrown. The error message should say @varC (8:9) -> @varA (3:16) -> @varA, I will fix that.

Less.js reports similar error on this input:

ERROR:
  type: Name
  message: Recursive variable definition for @varA
  filename: test.less
  index: 61
  line: 4
  column: 15
  extract: @varC: @varB + @varA;,@varA: @varB + @varA;,

Less.js issue database contains a long discussion about it: less/less.js#297

The error message with 0.0.11 is Cyclic references among variables: @varA (3:16) -> @varA (4:16).

Our developer worked around this so it seems like we have something that is correctly generated.
