    All - I believe I was able to determine the solution thanks to all of your inputs. I also found the cyclical reference. It was a calculated column post-transform on the Finance Book table.

    (C) => C[Start Date] <= F[posting_date] and C[End Date] >= F[posting_date] 
  )
)

    This has been resolved. Thank you! Everyones suggestions and solutions did help. I continued to run into the cyclical value but when I ultimately resolved it, updated my SQL query, and managed my relationships better.. I overcame the issue.
