What causes this issue?

By building CDS Views on top each other, a directed acyclic graph is
being build. But it is not possible to build a graph containing cycles
using view. Say, a view cannot read data from itself. neither directly
nor indirectly.
The recursive dependency for the view &V1& is as follows: &V2&

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DD_CDS_ANALYSIS305 - View &1: Recursive View Definitions are not supported ?

  The SAP error message DD_CDS_ANALYSIS305 indicates that there is a problem with a Core Data Services (CDS) view definition in your SAP system. Specifically, the error states that "Recursive View Definitions are not supported," which means that the CDS view you are trying to create or use is referencing itself directly or indirectly, leading to a recursive loop.
  
  Cause:
  
  Self-Referencing Views: The CDS view is defined in such a way that it references itself, either directly or through another view that eventually leads back to the original view.
  Circular Dependencies: There may be a chain of views where one view references another, which in turn references the first view, creating a circular dependency.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the View Definition: Check the definition of the CDS view that is causing the error. Look for any self-references or circular references in the SQL-like definition of the view.
  Refactor the View: If you find that the view is self-referencing, you
