Inheritence

Basically I try and run my code, and it says "Circular dependency of unit 'Character'" (Character being one of my classes).
I have no idea what this error means, and I have checked over both my Character class and my Me class (Me inherits Character) for any sort of errors but cant find any to my knowledge.
Can someone please explain what this error means? thanks.

Turing:

unit
class Character
import Item, Weapon, Room, Stuff
export SetWeapon, Move, SetPosition, x, y, t, weapon

var x, y, t : real := 0
var health, maxhealth : real := 70
var weapon : ^Weapon
var room : ^Room

proc SetWeapon (w : ^Weapon)
weapon := w
end SetWeapon
end Character

Turing:

unit
class Me
inherit Character
import Item, Weapon %, Armor, Consumable
export NewMe, SetStats, SkillUp, bag

var name : string := ""
var level : int := 1
var intelligence, strength, agility : real := 1
var mana, maxmana : real := 50
var healthregain, manaregain : real := 0.5
var movementspeed : real := 2
var cooldownreduction : real := 1
var attackpower, spellpower : int := 0
var bag : array 1 .. 40 of ^Item
var armor : ^Item

proc NewMe (name : string)
for a : 1 .. 40
bag (a) := nil
end for
end NewMe

proc SetStats
maxhealth := 70 + strength * 20
healthregain := 0.5 + 0.2 * strength
maxmana := 50 + intelligence * 22
manaregain := 0.5 + 0.22 * intelligence
movementspeed := 2 + 0.015 * agility
cooldownreduction := agility ** (-0.5)
end SetStats

proc SkillUp (skill : string)
case skill of
label "str" :
strength += 1
label "agi" :
agility += 1
label "int" :
intelligence += 1
end case
SetStats
end SkillUp
end Me

Does item, weapon, room or stuff import or inherit either one of those?

No problem, the simplest problems cause the most pain.
