Error in Declaration of service within Grails service - grails

Question

I have concerns about the use of Services within other Services. Some work, but others don't. The problem is that I can't figure out what's wrong.
When you add a service that generates the error always occurs the same problem, then I withdraw the reference to service problematic and the system returns to normal.
I wonder if the same is effecting any circular reference creating instability.
class UserService {
def terceirizadoService
def unidadeService
def grailsApplication
def springSecurityService
def tabService //If I remove this line the system works
...
}
class TabService {
def contratoService, grailsApplication ...
}
The error happens when the Bootstrap reference is made to a domain that has a reference to the tabService service.
class Car implements Serializable {
transient tabService
...
}
and generates this log:
Caused by BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name ‘tabService’: Cannot create inner bean '(inner bean)' while setting bean property 'target'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name '(inner bean)#2': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'contratoService': Cannot create inner bean '(inner bean)' while setting bean property 'target'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name '(inner bean)#3': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name ‘userService’: Cannot create inner bean '(inner bean)' while setting bean property 'target'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name '(inner bean)#5': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCurrentlyInCreationException: Error creating bean with name ‘tabService’: org.springframework.beans.factory.FactoryBeanNotInitializedException: FactoryBean is not fully initialized yet

I'm using Grails 2.3.7

We've seen issues like this whenever we use prototype scoped services as well (not sure if that applies to you).
As a work around you could solve it by not injecting the tabService but getting it on demand:
def getTabService() {
grailsApplication.mainContext.getBean(TabService)
}
Not ideal, obviously.
