Shibboleth Developers

A plugin only has access to its dependencies, not those things which
depend on it.

What you have now is still not right.  Either eduPerson* depends on your
data connector or you data connector depends on them.  The attribute
resolver has code in it that protects it from cyclic dependencies
causing any damage to the system but you probably won't get the results
you're looking for like this.
