Message Definition Object in Object

edit

In Short: In theory yes, but is caught due to reaching the maximum recursion depth.

Long answer here:

Actually, I would have expected to break with another message. However, the build process actually starts and breaks with the following error message:

This actually comes from empy, invoked from some CMake part (don't know where).
