ModuleA requires ModuleB, which requires ModuleC, which requires ModuleA.

I'm dealing with this through the following (in ModuleA):

  define(["ModuleD"], function (moduleD) {
       var feedManager = {};
       require(["ModuleB"], function (moduleB) {
             feedManager.foo = moduleB.bar; // trivial example
       } 
       return feedManager;
  }

However occasionally, feedManager.foo is not available at the time of invocation. I don't want to pepper my code with calls to "wait until this thing is available" - is there any way to force requireJS to handle this for me, or is there another pattern I should leverage?

@QuentinRoy I don't feel that this addresses my question. – SB2055 Jun 19 '17 at 13:17
Right. I apologize this looks different indeed. – Quentin Roy Jun 19 '17 at 13:20
Are you already taking advantage of the [shim config](http://requirejs.org/docs/api.html#config-shim)? – Ito Pizarro Jun 29 '17 at 21:40
