This is not really surprising: module Clexer references module Cparser
and vice versa! You cannot have recursion between modules.

Since the lexer always depends on the parser, because the latter declares
tokens that the lexer returns, the parser must always be compiled before
the lexer.

Therefore, you'll have to factor out all code from the lexer that is
referenced by the parser and put it into a separate module, which you
have to compile before the parser (and by transitivity before the lexer).
