Currently, cycle detection works by assigning each constructor node an "order"/index for the scope it was given in. If a path exists between an index and itself, a cycle is detected.
When we create a subscope, we copy all of the parent's nodes to the child scope, but we do not copy their orders. This causes all root scope constructors to effectively have order 0 in the child scope (zero value for a mapping to int). This causes false positives when doing cycle detection as an edge from order 0 to order 0 gets detected.
This PR fixes this bug by copying the order for constructor nodes from parent to child scope when a child scope is created.
The added test case fails before this PR, passes with it.
