"Formula cannot use another formula field that directly or indirectly refers to itself"

I have created a checkbox on child object Case1 with name MyCheckbox, now I am creating a Roll-Up summery field on parent object i.e. Account with the same name MyCheckbox. the problum is when I am creating Roll-Up summery field on Acount and putting the Filter Criteria i.e. MyCheckbox equals TRUE, and when I am saving it, I am getting an error saying

 "There were custom validation error(s) encountered while saving the affected record(s). 
The first validation error encountered was "Formula cannot use another formula field
that directly or indirectly refers to itself. Case1__c.MyCheckbox__c -> Case1__c.MyCheckbox__c".


Changing the Roll-up summery field name is the workaround,but I want to know the reason behind it.


Please let me know does any one have any idea about it.

 

Thanks in advance.
