Yes.

It is trivially easy to create loops of rules when describing abstract properties.

Concrete properties tend to have "levels" to them, but many human concepts are self-referential.

In this way, its possible to spot that there may be an issue now or in the future, because the presence or lack of a loop depends on the specific choice of dependencies of a concept. However spotting the potential for a loop doesn't do a lot to help remove its potential existence, or show that it is there or not there.
