How could it be any other way? The first answer is I believe it MUST be another way, because the way you are describing does not make sense to me. Truly, I have yet to find any understanding of things before the time Heavenly Father was a man. As I described this conundrum to my wife, I told her if I only had a piece of the knowledge, some little part of the big picture which I KNOW is true, then perhaps I could allow my mind to explore the possibilities relative to that nugget of knowledge. Today, I found my nugget.
Alma 37:12
And it may suffice if I only say they are preserved for a wise purpose, which purpose is known unto God; for he doth counsel in wisdom over all his works, and his paths are straight, and his course is one eternal round.

1 Nephi 10:19
For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost, as well in these times as in times of old, and as well in times of old as in times to come; wherefore, the course of the Lord is one eternal round.

Alma 7:20
I perceive that it has been made known unto you, by the testimony of his word, that he cannot walk in crooked paths; neither doth he vary from that which he hath said; neither hath he a shadow of turning from the right to the left, or from that which is right to that which is wrong; therefore, his course is one eternal round.

D&C 35:1
Listen to the voice of the Lord your God, even Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, whose course is one eternal round, the same today as yesterday, and forever.

D&C 3:2
For God doth not walk in crooked paths, neither doth he turn to the right hand nor to the left, neither doth he vary from that which he hath said, therefore his paths are straight, and his course is one eternal round.

What does it mean to be one eternal round? It means everything that happens has happened before, in a slightly different way. This day we are in now is similar to a time from the past and a time in the future. The difference between those times is in who plays the roles and what level of progression each being has obtained. If I carry this thought forward into eternity, I see eternal progression. If I carry this thought backwards, it suggests to me there was a starting point. I cannot define that starting point, but it should exist based on my understanding of this nugget of knowledge.
