Here's an interesting setup, though probably not *the* solution again:

1-Get a primitive null
2-Duplicate the null
3-Translate the duplicate away from the original null
4-Turn on both CnsComp and ChldComp mode
5-Apply a position constraint from the duplicate null to the original
6-When the constraint PPG opens, turn on the affected by scaling and orientation options
7-Turn off CnsComp and ChldComp modes
8-Rotate the constrained null... it should orbit around the other null 

You can interactively adjust the position of your orbit either by animating the position constraint offset, or by turning on CnsComp and ChldComp and dragging it.
