The practical solution to your problem is to say:
javac *.java
and be done with it let Javac sort it out. This is what you have to do
to deal with circular references anyway.
It probably makes it worse that your classes are not public.
The solution you will eventually home in on is using ant scripts to do
your builds. Then you let ant worry about it.
It is tricky figuring out when Javac will compile or recompile classes
other than the ones you explicitly asked it to compile. I have found
that relying on Java to do that nearly always leads to trouble,
especially when you have mixed -target specifications.. I explicitly
compile the library packages first then client packages, always a
whole package at a pop, always using ANT, which does it every so much
more quickly than you can from the command line loading javac.exe over
and over.
