Description Thomas Jung

How to reproduce:
- create two actor classes
- create a reference in one definition of the other actor class

expected behaviour:
the drop down list of possible actor classes contains valid actors

real behaviour:
the drop down list contains the actor where the reference should be placed in as well. Doing so would create a cyclic actor instanciation.

One final comment: in the textual editor we follow the policy 'weak scoping but strict validation' which means that in the proposal list also invalid proposals are made which then are marked invalid with an explanation. This gives the user more feed back than just an (may be) empty list.

In the graphical editor it might be a better way to prevent the user from doing invalid things.
