We are attempting to deploy a large package across to another organization using ANT but we are having an issue with dependencies. When one component is saved to the server, the next is required so it returns errors on absolutely everything. We have circular dependences on everything so we cannot just deploy one series of components then deploy another (For example, custom objects then custom fields).

Does anybody have any ideas on how to deploy large packages? We get errors like these (but across all components types):

...

Error: pages/SendEmail.page<SendEmail>:Apex class 'clsTools' does not exist.
Error: pages/Settings.page<Settings>:Apex class 'clsTools' does not exist.
