emitmapper circular reference

Question

emit mapper circular reference issues. I am trying to map AA to A. A has object of B, but B has object of A. This is circular reference issue. I am not sure how Emit mapper can handle this issue.

public class A
{
    public A()
    {
        list = new List<B>();
    }
    List<B> list {get; set;}
}

public class B
{
    public A object {get; set;}
}
public class AA
{
    public AA()
    {
           list= new List<BB>();
    }
    public List<BB> list {get; set;}
}
public class BB
{
    public AA object {get; set;}
}
objectified = new A();
ObjectMapperManager.DefaultInstance.Get Mapper<A, AA>().Map(objectified);

Need to map from A to AA. Now I got the stack overflow error. Any one know how to resolve this issue?

The circular reference classes are created by EF power tools. And the generated classes need to be updated to one way parent-reference only class. So the issue is not related to the Emitmapper, the issue is the class design itself.

public class A
{
    public A()
    {
        list = new List<B>();
    }
    List<B> list {get; set;}
}

public class B
{
    //remove the following child-parent relationship.
    //public A object {get; set;}
}
