Yes you can do it, though I don't have a good reason for doing such a thing.<br>

I don't have an idea where one would add a relation as a member to itself, but circular references could e.g. happen if you were to create a relation for a city and then have another city as a member with role="twinned_with" - this would obviously be circular.<br>
