Entity Framework null pointer reference exception

Question

I have a relationship between two tables

First table: User

Id | Name | 

Second table: Package

Id | UserSenderId | UserReceiverId

I use Entity Framework with .Net Framework 3.5 and the problem I have is that Entity Framework is creating two references UserReference1 and UserReference but UserReference1 is always null. If I do not include the User table like this:

db.Packages.Include("User")

then UserReference is also null.

I really run out of ideas with this problem, is there an issue using multiple foreign keys pointing to the same primary key?

EDIT 1:

The user reference in Package partial class:

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

尝试db.Packages.Include("User").Include("User1")
