I am looking into thrift for serialization of data. But Document says

cyclic structs - Structs can only contain structs that have been declared before it. A struct also cannot contain itself

One of our requirement is

Struct A
- List of Child items
  - Items(Items are Struct A )

So reading requirement i can't have Struct within itself at any level? can i have it in cyclic model as i have it above. Struct is not member of Struct directly but it has some other member and it contains struct.

Their document is not so well descriptive.

Is it possible in Thrift? Does protobuf supports it?
