How to detect circular dependencies from a project built using requir.js?

For instance

/* File: MyView.js */
define(['backbone','views/myview','object_x'], function(BB,V,X){
   ...
});

/* File: Object_X.js */
define(['backbone','jquery','views/myview','object_x'], function(BB,$,V,X){
   ...
});

what I mean is that as the project gets bigger, manually inspecting each file becomes a hassle.

Edit: How about detecting redundant dependencies?

I Googled your title word-for-word, and this was the first result...

Use r.js to optimize the code. During build process it will list files that were included while building.

If you want to do more dependency graph analysis the semi-private onResourceLoad API may be helpful.
