Christian,
This example is particularly poor because the package name and the name
of the class it contains are both upper case, so the generate code is
confused whether "B" should denote a package or should denote an interface.
It's never been the case that separate *.genmodels support cyclic
dependencies but it should work to create a single GenModel for such
co-dependent EPackages, though a quick tests indeed indicates there are
problems with this, so please open a bugzilla with this example (fixing
the package names to be lower case), and I'll have a look at what it
takes to fix the problem.
Note that last week I committed changes to Ecore Tools so that it
directly supports diagrams for Xcore-based models; such diagrams are
editable, but the underlying models are not editable, so it's useful for
creating nice diagrams, but not for actually modifying the Xcore model,
which must be done in the Xcore editor.
Please also open a bugzilla to request support for Export Model... for
Xcore models. It should be relatively easy to make all the existing
exporters work with Xcore.
What else are you needing a *.genmodel for? In all cases, you should
request the provider of the service (via bugzilla) to support
Xcore-based models. It's generally as easy as supporting the *.xcore
extension wherever the *.ecore/*.genmodel extensions are supported, and
changing any code that assumes the GenModel or EPackage is the first
child of a Resource.getContents.

Now my XCore-models tend to become bigger and more complex so I would like to structure them with packages. These often contain cyclic dependencies (often from "opposite" relations).
