Weird dependency error

[Shmuma]

Some time ago I start getting the error on initial import of the StatisticalRethinking. It happens only if Turing is imported first:

using Turing
using StatisticalRethinking

The error message is

This appears only on initial import, if I restart the cell, it works without warnings and works properly.

If I add Optim import, the message changes:

using Optim
using Turing
using StatisticalRethinking

Hi Max (@Shmuma),

Not sure if you had fixed it in your repo, but SR v4.4.2 should fix this. Partially it was a circular. If Optim.jl was present it required code that contained using Optim.

Let me know if you still see this.

Hi Rob,

Yes, the issue has gone. Thanks a lot!
