    Also, I presumed in the previous post that you are using the standard Hierarchy provider and not a custom one, is this the case?

    As the error message is saying, your setup in the management hierarchy (Organization positions) is wrong.

    Somewhere in your setup you have assigned a person to be the 'report to position' for a person that already report to it (person A reports to B, B to C, and C to A).

    Review the hierarchy and fix this.

Under review
