1. Create Object.cs containing only:

class MyClass {}

2. Compile this.

3. Compile Stub against this.

4. Compile the true Object against Stub.

..or just pass both .cs files to the C# compiler at the same time -- works
with CSC at least :-)

[x:\test\testinterdependence]csc /target:module Object.cs
Microsoft (R) Visual C# .NET Compiler version 7.10.3052.4
for Microsoft (R) .NET Framework version 1.1.4322

Object.cs(5,17): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Foo' could not be
        found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[x:\test\testinterdependence]csc /target:module Stub.cs

Stub.cs(5,21): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'MyClass' could not be
        found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

The resulting module contains types from both .cs files, of course.
