Within the constraints of our known physical universe, probably not.

Within in all of reality, maybe.

According to our observation of time - no. Time goes in one direction, from the past to the future.

There is, however, no reason in physics as to why this should be so. If there is a way around the apparent directionality of time, then yes - the creator of a given entity could, in turn, be created by that entity.

Let x = humans.
Let y = humans.

Humans come from humans.
And humans come from humans.
