Aha, yes - the stack trace makes it fairly clear what's happening!

Catalyst is trying to create your Model::Mapping _before_ it creates 
your other model..

And creating an instance of Model::Mapping relies on the other model 
having been setup first.

Ok, and having looked at the code - that isn't the issue that you're 
having in that test app..

The result classes for your DBIC models were in the wrong place, so DBIC 
wasn't finding them, ergo the call to ->model returning undef..

I have also fiddled with the code to make it not order sensitive, and (I 
think) more elegant.
