Yes, that is true for packages in zope. However, zope.app was designed as the 
application server and has thus many dependencies among the packages in 
zope.app. Note that the srichter-blow-services branch will bring great relief 
to some of these dependencies. registration, component and site used to have 
circular imports, but in the branch they all have been merged into 
zope.app.component, with each module being independent of the others. For 
example, the registration code does not depend on the local site manager 
code.
