However, we should prevent properties from having circular references.
A property cannot reference the same struct to which the property belongs.
An example of a circular reference:
ParentStruct:
type: struct
description: "A struct that is going to contain properties that are circular refs"
ParentStruct.x_property:
type: property
datatype: double
ParentStruct.no_property:
type: property
description: "Circular reference!"
datatype: ParentStruct
